Our Rainbows End Experience.

The Year 5-8 students were lucky enough to be able to attend the Rainbows End Reward Trip a fortnight ago. Although it rained for most of the day we made the most of the rides that we were able to take part in.

By noon the weather had fined up and a whole lot of schools had already left. This gave us the run of the park so we had several rides on all of the attractions. It was awesome!
