Today saw the first of a series of visits by Wanaka Primary School to participate in our GOLD programme. Year 5 & 6 students experienced three different activities - being a 'gold detective' in the Museum, learning about life for Chinese Miners and completing the 'life as a miner' challenge.

The rain stayed away but the Arrow River was still freezing for hand washing and panning! Wanaka's willpower and determination showed through and many students went home a little richer...with some real GOLD!

We hope you had a good time..we can't wait for the rest of your school to come over! Post us a comment about your visit on this blog!
