Huge thank you to the Spotswood College exchange students for joining us on the Whanganui Awa. It was a privilege to share this journey with you, to explore the beauty of our river, and to connect through kōrero, waiata laughter, and learning.

We hope you leave with memories to treasure and appreciation for the significance of the Whanganui Awa to our people and history.

Haere pai atu, hoki pai mai – travel safely and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future!
