Aotea College, Paraparaumu College and HVHS are excited to advise that we are heading to Hillary OPC November 8th - 13th 2026
This optional exciting 5 day programme is held at the amazing Hillary Outdoor Centre- Tongariro.
Tongariro is New Zealand’s oldest national park and a UNESCO dual World Heritage area. This status recognises the park’s important Maori cultural and spiritual associations and outstanding volcanic features. Tongariro National Park offers an infinite variety of natural environments providing life-changing experiences that are expertly managed for their safety
Hillary Outdoors programmes are based around the pristine mountain, river and bush environments. Programmes are designed to meet focus learning areas and for participants to learn about themselves and others, developing lifelong relationships and skills. Individuals work together in teams to explore the alpine and bush environment and learn skills such as rock climbing, caving, bush skills and kayaking.
