Activities
In addition to the school fees, there is a required activity fee of nz$1200 per student. This fee covers all lift passes, 4×4 transportation to and from the mountain, organized weekend activities, plus trips into Christchurch on Friday nights. On Wednesdays, we hit the slopes at Porters, and on Saturdays we head up to Mt Hutt. If we are unable to head up the mountain, we give alternative opportunities to explore this beautiful island, including activities such as:
- Rock climbing at the popular and breathtaking Castle Hill
- Climbing at the Port Hills
- Surfing
- Hiking some challenging mountains and trails with breathtaking views, such as Mt. Oxford
- Soaking in the thermal hot pools of Hanmer Springs
- Mountain biking
- Back-country 4×4
