Arawai

Arawai was delighted to transfer a group of student bound for Motutapu from Okahu as part of the "Making a Difference" programme. MAD Marine is an annual programme for potential youth leaders aimed at giving secondary students an exciting marine experience and new found marine knowledge over a three day camp on Motutapu Island in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. The programme is run by the Department of Conservation and was initially partnered with the Auckland Regional Council and now with the Auckland Council. Students are then challenged to take their new found marine knowledge and share it with their schools and communities in actions and events during Seaweek in March.
