Sewell Peak

Sewell Peak was a metaphoric introduction for all the year 10’s into NCEA for next year. It is saying that going through level 1,2,3 will be challenging but once you make it to the end it will all be worth it, all the pain, sweat and tears that were shed were all for a good reason.

Once we started the walk we all knew what we were heading into, a steep hill with a good view at the top and we all knew that we were going to struggle going up. But I found that if you don’t focus on the pain and just look at the nature around you, you will enjoy the walk and find it more of a brisk walk than a challenging hike. At the bottom of the walk we found that the trees were really diverse and were going to different heights but as we got higher the trees started to deplete and become more shorter and than becoming shrubs and bushes. The walk up to the top took around 3 hours and when we got to the top we knew that we had done well. We got a meal from the Mayor and got photos from the top, we could see everything from Black ball to Grey mouth. The tree tops spanned from below us to all around the land reminding us that we do live in a rain forest. But then, As we were deciding to head back down a kea came and congratulated us on our achievement.

  1. Great vocabulary and linking between NCEA and the walk. Also good job on not being lazy and actually putting a picture in.
