Gala Day Kayaking

With our kayaking students recently finishing their competitive season this year, the team used the Term 4 SCISSA Gala Day as an opportunity to try a different form of water sport. Our team spent the morning learning about the culture, canoes, safety and technique of paddling an Outrigger Canoe. It was perfect weather to be out on the water for the morning and the team enjoyed paddling around the canals of Minyama. With success at both the Queensland Schools Marathon and Sprint Championships this year, the team returned to school for the afternoon to celebrate their achievements.

Our sincere thanks to Raine, Lyn, Sandy and the Panamuna Outrigger Canoe Club for organising equipment and for their time and guidance during the morning. Juniors through to Golden Masters compete in Outrigger Canoeing in Australia. The club can be contacted via www.panamuna.com if students are interested in trying out this sport.
