Whaia e koe te iti kahurangi

Reach for the stars, if you must bow your head let it only be to the loftiest mountain.

10 Day Development

On each voyage, 40 participants aged between 16-18 years come from all over New Zealand to share the challenge of ten days at sea. They will leave with a new set of skills, a huge sense of achievement, loads of new friends and the confidence to take on any new challenge put in front of them. During a voyage, participants will learn much about themselves and their ability to work effectively in teams and become leaders. Learning about the sea and how to sail a tall ship is simply a by-product of this award-winning development programme.

Student Trustee

Every year, New Zealand School Trustees Association offers voyages on board Spirit of New Zealand for student representatives elected to their school’s Board of Trustees. Voyages are usually held in the summer break and prepare students for the year ahead as a School Student Trustee. The emphasis of the programme is for students to gain knowledge in all aspects of committee and trust board work, while developing self-confidence and resilience and establishing a useful network of friends.
