Six Year 7 and 8 students from Tapora Primary School visited Wellington from May 8 to 13.
The children were joined by 27 students from five other schools who have been working with Tapora for six years under the Virtual Learning Network initiative.
Activities included visiting the police museum, Weta Workshop and Te Papa, as well as attending a debate in Parliament.
“The students couldn’t stop talking about everything they did,” Tapora Primary School principal Keryl Lee says. “I think paintball in particular went down well.”
Funding for the trip came through fundraising and the Air New Zealand Airpoints programme, which Tapora joined last year.
Keryl says students will continue to make the trip to Wellington every two years.
Students who participated were Cassidy Henderson, C.J. Albert-Hemana, Jacob Papera-Holmes, Aidan Whittle, Wiremu Wineera and Liam Fifield-Enright.
