Recently 10 girls from Carmel College had the opportunity of a lifetime to go on Spirt of Adventure. They departed from Auckland City and spent five nights in the Hauraki Gulf with three other schools across Aotearoa.

This week was filled with so much fun and great new friends. I will never forget the memories I made on this voyage. Some of my highlights were sunsets and sunrises, swimming, seeing dolphins, late-night uno games, going on the rope swing, beach games and night watch. The crew and people I did this with made the whole experience so much better.

Thanks to Miss Coughlan for coming with us.
