Sand Castle Building Comp

After a massive year with our carpentry students and smashing out the house build, we decided that it was a good way to finish off the year by putting their talent and new skills they have learnt into practice, but something more challenging...… building sand castles.

Our Carpentry Rāwhiti cohort ventured down to Tomahawk beach this beautiful Dunedin morning to have some fun! The rules were simple, it has to be a minimum of 400mm high, 1m long, include a livable house, a moat, lake or pond, and a bridge. They were only allowed to use what they could find on the beach. They had 1 hour and a half to complete it and they all did an awesome job!

We had Tobin as our mutual judge and he got to rank the castles.

Everyone had fun, a class game of touch was played and some golf balls hit as well. Such a great way to finish out the year ahead of the auction this weekend :-)
