Kristie Goodsir & Jessica Davidson

Over the school holidays our Head of School, Kristie Goodsir, and our Deputy Head of School, Jessica Davidson were selected out of 200 applicants to participate in the School to Skies programme at the Whenuapai Air Force base above Auckland.

This was a 6 day intensive camp aimed at year 13 girls. 38 girls across the country took part in the course.

Kristie and Jessica’s account of the week is given below:

"We both definitely learnt a huge amount, about what life is actually like in the military and also about ourselves and our future. Both of us plan on joining the Airforce and are super excited for what’s ahead. It’s so crazy because if our careers adviser never told us about School to Skies we would never have thought of it as a possible career path, so we really encourage girls to look at a variety of opportunities they have available to them after high school. School to Skies was the most incredible experience and we are both truly grateful to have been a part of it.”
