The Go Kart Derby was a fantastic result to an extremely well organised day. The day was dreamt of after our 5 week immersion programme on how to get people active in the Kaikoura community.
These last 5 weeks have been spent advertising the event using all forms of communication eg. live radio shows, newspaper articles, emails, newsletter ads and posters. One group made carts for the event. One group researched for a suitable place and then the legal requirements and the last group looked at what was needed for the proposed audience to make the most of the event.
Congratulations to all the organisers and the competitors. Well done to all of our Fyffe Force learners and Chris, Sue and Maree and the supportive families of our school who willingly helped out with marshalling, sausage sizzles, face painting, hay bales, and then the cleaning up.
Results from the day.
