Adventure Club

The Adventure Club kicked off at the start of Term 2. The idea of the adventure club is to take the students to exciting and adventurous places in order to enjoy the beautiful outdoors on offer around greater Gaborone. The club is on Friday afternoons and is open to all secondary students. Transport is provided as we have access to the Westwood bus driven by our ever patient driver, Diesel! The adventures so far include:-

• Kgale Hill Climb: this was our first outing with only three students. The word of a fun filled few hours on a Friday soon got out and the numbers swelled to 11 students by our next adventure at.
• Mogonye Gorge: is situated about 40 km’s south of Gaborone. It involved a bus trip to Mogonye village, where we paid our entrance fee and picked up our guide followed by a very adventurous drive up to the gorge along a very narrow rocky road. It is a national heritage site and the guides are necessary to ensure the unspoiled beauty remains that way. Information is available at the National Museum in the centre of town.
• Gaborone Dam Canoeing: a fun filled few hours was spent at the Gaborone dam where the dusty Westwood fleet of Canadian canoes were launched after a long time in storage. The students donned their life jackets and gingerly braved the icy waters of Gaborone Dam. For some of the students this was their very first time on open water!
