First-hand Knowledge

To broaden their knowledge in the nature and social studies spheres, 37 pupils of Std 1V at Auckland Point School spent a week in the Lake Rotoiti area. The children, along with 1l adults who made the trip to act as camp mothers, stayed in cottages made available to them for the occasion. The party was in the charge of Mr M. S. Loveridge who kindly took these photographs for us.
