We had a team of 9 students and 3 adults trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar (5550m) via Phortse Primary School, Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass (5368m). We had been busy fundraising since our expedition launch in July 2012 and left for our adventure on 24 April and returned to Queenstown on 17 May. We aimed to fulfil the theme for our journey 'Shaping Life Through Adventure' and our College motto Whaia te taumata - pursue the highest peaks and Deserve Success.
