This blog is for current and past international students to share their thoughts on their time at Kerikeri High School. Some will have been in the Sailing Academy, others the Theatre Arts Academy, while most will be following academic programmes of varying lengths. We also have GAP students who join our school. Read stories from students from all over the world who have had a great time here.

Why not come and see for yourself?

Sailing Academy meets Teeratada

It was a beautiful day for sailing last week at Lake Manuwai. Working towards achieving their Instructors' Certificates, our Sailing Academy students did an excellent job showing the Teeratada students the ropes (or should we say sheets), and the Thai students learned quickly under the tutelage of their patient instructors. In Optimists, Plastics, and Sunbursts, the Academy students taught the basics of water safety, rigging, and dinghy sailing, and by lunchtime the Thai students were participating in Match Races and cruises around the lake. Above are just a few pictures of the fun-filled day, and below are some entertaining videos of the instructors in action.
