William Pike Award

---

The William Pike Challenge is a year-long youth development and outdoor education programme in New Zealand designed to build resilience, confidence, and life skills in students. We offer this opportunity to our Year 7 & 8 students who complete a variety of challenges aimed at encouraging them to step outside their comfort zones. Students complete five different adventurous outdoor activities, dedicate 20 hours to developing a new passion project, and contribute 20 hours of community service. By engaging in these diverse experiences, participants develop critical problem-solving skills, establish stronger connections with their local communities, and prepare themselves to face future challenges with courage and adaptability.
