Te Tai Tokerau Tall Ship Challenge
The R.Tucker Thompson Te Tai Tokerau Tall Ship Challenge is a competition to find out which school team can demonstrate they have what it takes in terms of leadership, initiative and of course teamwork.
The Tai Tokerau Tall Ship Challenge is held in Autum with the inaugral trophy being contested for between 13th - 19th May 2010.
Teamwork will play an important part for the selection of the winning school, and the winning team will also demonstrate that they can work not just with the partner from their own school, but also members from other schools to complete their tasks. There will be physical hard work, some mental challenges as well as a lot of fun.
Challenges set during the 7-day voyage will be based on a range of activities such as sailing, physical activity, standard of daily drills and duties, swimming as well as positive interactions between others.
The Tai Tokerau Tall Ship Challenge will be held once a year and is open to all schools with secondary aged students. Only 5 schools can compete so schools wanting to enter will need to register their interest as soon as possible.
Dates for the 2010 event are:
Thurs 13th May - Weds 19th May - Marsden Cove to Opua
