Cathedral Cove Volunteer Project 2011

cathedral cove1 cathedralcove2web

In August 2011 members of the Hillary Challenge Team from MBAS contributed to the Department of Conservation's volunteer programme at Cathedral Cove.

In a letter to the Principal, John Wright, both the students and staff were praised as " highly motivated, hard working" and were congratulated on being "an integral
part of the group often motivating and setting high standards for the rest of our vounteer team to follow".

During the day the team moved 40 cubic metres of mulch onto the gardens at the Cathedral Cove Amenity Area. The area is at the gateway to the most popular
walk on the Coromandel and after their 6 hours of hard work the revitalised gardens look worth the effort.
