Bright and early on 16th February, tens/tonnes of Year 13 students were out amongst the community volunteers supporting Challenge Wanaka. The main stations were at Hawea Flat for the bike leg (banana, BANANA!) and along Anderson Road for the runners (good tunes and flat coke, anyone?).

The Challenge Wanaka Volunteer Organisers, Sarah & Sarah, say they have been “overwhelmed by the awesome enthusiasm of the MAC students who have signed up to be part of the amazing volunteer crew for this event. Thank you so much!”

We’d like to acknowledge the many students from other year groups, and the MAC staff are out there as well, so this accolade clearly belongs not just to SIC students but to all of you!
