Rohan Woods

Rohan Woods has departed from the Huntsman as well as Selwyn House.  We had a great week and hope to see groups from these schools in the future. It was an exciting time for all with many fun activities completed.
On Friday both groups went whale watching and even though the weather was a little damp, everyone had a great time and saw Fin back whales, Minke whales and Harbour Porpoises.  The Rohan Woods group even saw a few Harbour and Grey seals as well as a Puffin and Bald Eagle. In the morning Rohan Woods was also treated to a tour of the Atlantic Salmon Federation and guided nature walk.
On Saturday it was an early morning for Rohan Woods as we braved the fog and went to Pottery Creek looking for all sorts of worms. A contest was held for longest worm, ugliest worm, most diverse grouping and most enthusiastic group. We also recognised most valuable digger and most valuable worm picker. A presentation on Lobster followed this event and in the afternoon the students were given free time to explore our lovely town of St. Andrews.
