Kerikeri High School Raft Race Photos

2011 Kerikeri High School Raft Race

The historic Stone Store Basin hosted an eclectic flotilla of staff and student rafts as the 36^th annual Kerikeri High School Raft Race was held on Monday.  In what is an iconic Kerikeri event the Inlet was busy with over ninety Year 7 and 8 students on 25 rafts, as well as three staff rafts.

Students are challenged to design a raft and paddles from simple materials.  As well having a great deal of fun the opportunity to participate allows students to work together in an enterprising and collaborative way as a team. 

The Sorenson Cup is awarded to the winning student raft and was won this year by ‘The Warriors’ made and crewed by Year 7 students Samantha Turner, Emma Campbell and Tylah Inverarity. 

A longstanding High School tradition is that teachers new to Kerikeri High School participate in the race.  Most teachers on the staff have their own Raft Race story to share with colleagues and students.  This year, for the first time since 1996, the first raft across the finish line was a staff raft, engineered and crewed by Mr Cliff Magon and Mr Seth Brown.  These teachers were so energised with their historic finish that they completed a victory lap as their students and colleagues raced to the finish line.

Kerikeri High School was well supported by the local community with a large crowd of students and parents in attendance.  Our local Volunteer Fire Brigade were in attendance to shower the fleet with water as it passed by, and St John’s Ambulance also added their support.
