Overall experience of our trip to Wellington!!

Last week the year 7&8’s had the opportunity to travel to Wellington via plane. This trip happens every 2 years for the year 7&8’s that choose to stay at Paihia School and it was organised by our principal, Mrs Lindsay. It was an amazing opportunity and we only had to pay $50! When we arrived in Wellington we made our way to Te Herenga Waka which is the Marae we stayed at for the whole week. During the week we went to some really cool places. We went to Te Papa, Wellington Zoo, going on the cable car and visiting the cable car museum, have a tour of Victoria University, Capital E and lots of other cool places. My favourite parts about Wellington was Te Papa because of the amazing life like statues in the Gallipoli exhibit, Weta workshop because of their craftsmanship on all the costumes and weapons and going to Capital E and learning how to use the different equipment to make a TV show. Also learning how to direct the location manager and floor manager so that they can cue when the actors start. I just want to say a big thank you to Mrs Lindsay for organising this trip so we can make new memories that we will remember for years to come. Also thank you for taking a week away from your family to spend with us. THANK YOU MRS LINDSAY!!
