LIONS – SUPPORTING OUTWARD BOUND

ThE CUTTER / 3

I have had long term involvement

with Outward Bound New Zealand,

having been an instructor, School

Director and a Board member over the

past 30 years. At a time when many

Outward Bound schools are confined

to three – five day programmes,

I’m proud to see Outward Bound

New Zealand maintaining the strong

tradition of challenging courses lasting

for a period of 21 days (a key part of

this being service in the community),

all conducted in the surrounding

Marlborough Sounds. I’ve seen many

changes during my time with Outward

Bound, ranging from internal and

external safety audits to measurable

course outcomes for students. Outward

Bound New Zealand’s programmes will

continue to develop for the next

50 years, reflecting the needs of

New Zealand’s increasingly diverse

population. For me, Outward Bound

values remain as important today, as

they were in 1962. This is especially for

our youth, as they have the ability to

shape our nationhood and combine

all cultures within New Zealand.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF

As our 50th Anniversary celebrations draw to a close, we have a chance to reflect back on the year and what has been achieved. The stand out for me has been meeting up with alumni and those, who over the years, have put so much time and effort into making Outward Bound what it is today. The passion with which you all spoke about your Outward Bound involvement has left us (the current team) with a real awareness of the responsibility we have to ensure that Outward Bound continues for another 50 years.

When Lord Cobham opened Outward

Bound in 1962 he hoped Outward

Bound would be ‘training for life’.

50 years on, we need to ask the

question, “Have we provided this for

New Zealand’s youth?”

The stories that alumni have shared

with us about the ongoing impact of

their courses has left me in no doubt

that if Lord Cobham could have heard

them today, he would have been

extremely satisfied. I am also very aware

that he likely would have said, “while

it’s good to reflect, don’t rest up there

is still more work to do be done.”

While this is a challenge that the

current team are ready to take on, we

also want to acknowledge and thank

those of you, who are too numerous

to name individually, for the solid

foundation and support you have given

Outward Bound, to take us forward into

the next 50 years.

To acknowledge the drive of Lord

Cobham for being the catalyst of

Outward Bound in New Zealand, we

are re-launching the ‘Cobham Memorial

Scholarship fund’. I would ask each and

every one of you to support this

campaign and keep his legacy of

‘training for life alive’ (see page 15).

Looking forward to 2013, our summer

courses are full, bookings for winter are

looking strong, and we have a great

team of passionate and dedicated staff

to continue delivering a great Outward

Bound expereince.

Also, I would like to take this

opportunity to wish you all a happy

and safe summer break with family

and friends.

/ TREVOR TAYLOR, CEO

During my time as School Director,

I have worked with some of finest

outdoor educators in the country,

along with a fantastic support team

in Anakiwa and Wellington. Working

for Outward Bound New Zealand is a

great privilege, as we stand on the

shoulders of 50 years of dedication

and commitment. Work at Outward

Bound is a batten that is passed on,

and all staff feel strong sense of

temporary stewardship. The real

highlight for me is the clarity of

Outward Bound’s vision: ‘Better People,

Better Communities, Better World’.

This is reflected in everything we do,

offering people from all walks life a

better sense of what they are really

capable of. I look forward to seeing

this continue for the next 50 years.

‘Outward Bound is a training for life; all the young people coming to the schools are ‘outward bound’ on the journey through life, and it is believed that an experience of the course will help them to cope confidently with the problems and worries which they will meet during that journey.’

/ LORD COBHAM, 1962

PhOTOS TOP: Past and present staff gather at the reunion. ABOVE: Phillipa Gray, our newest Outward

Bound Ambassador and 2012 Paralympic gold,silver and bronze medallist was an inspirational guest speaker at

50th Reunion.

When Lord Cobham opened the Outward Bound School in September 1962, he said, “Outward Bound is a training for life; all the young people coming to the schools are ‘outward bound’ on the journey through life, and it is believed that an experience of the course will help them to cope confidently with the problems and worries which they will meet during that journey.”

As a result of his moving address

50 years ago, Outward Bound staff have

had an ongoing responsibility to ensure

that Lord Cobham’s dreams and

aspirations for all those who attended

an Outward Bound course at Anakiwa

were met.

Over the weekend of the 27th of

October, 200 past staff converged on

Anakiwa in true Outward Bound style

for a weekend filled with outdoor

challenges, adventure, music, dancing,

food and, of course, great company. It

was an opportunity to reflect on the

past 50 years, the tough times, the

challenges and the successes that

Outward Bound New Zealand has

achieved over the past 50 years. But

more importantly, it was a chance to

celebrate the impact they have had on

the lives of over 50,000 New Zealanders.

The weekend kicked off with a Powhiri

to welcome the returning guests,

followed by reflections from the

current President of the Outward

Bound New Zealand Trust, Bruce

Cardwell (also a past instructor and

School Director). His speech linked the

strong position of Outward Bound

today to the vision, passion and hard

work of all staff during their time at

Outward Bound. This was further

reinforced after lunch by first course

participant, Harry Scoltock and 2012

course participant Alice Elliott from

Marlborough Girls College. They both

spoke of the impact of their courses,

with Alice making special note of

Outward Bound’s influence in helping

her move into a leadership role in her

final year at college.

The day rolled quickly into night and

onto a sumptuous buffet dinner at the

Marlborough Events Centre. A highlight

of the evening was the key speakers’

stories, one from each of the last five

decades. Past Wardens and School

Directors told of their respective times

in charge of the school. Jon D’Almeida

reminisced about returning a from three

day kayak scheme, having to make

fibreglass repairs and hoping the repairs

set before the next group took them

out in the morning (a stark contrast to

the current fleet of polyethylene

kayaks). Gaike Knottenbelt and Steve

Hall reminded all of the responsibility

to ensure that the passion and flame

of Outward Bound continues to grow,

to ensure another 50,000 young

New Zealanders have the opportunity

to understand their true potential.

Phillipa Gray, our newest Outward

Bound Ambassador and 2012 Paralympic

gold, silver and bronze medallist was

an inspirational guest speaker. She

shared her journey, and the experience

of her Outward Bound course,

culminating in her standing on the

winner’s podium at London.

The reunion project manager, Sonya

Sutherland (past instructor) sums up

the weekend’s success perfectly, “The

50th Staff Reunion was an amazing

opportunity to bring together a group

of current and ex staff spanning

50 years, who all have a common

passion for Outward Bound and a

connection to its base in Anakiwa. There

was plenty of reminiscing, laughter and

reuniting of old friends. Talking with

people from the past, it was great to

see that Outward Bound is not only life

changing for students, but has affected

and inspired the staff who have worked

there. It is refreshing to look to our

current staff and see that Outward

Bound is in good hands and the legacy

and traditions of Outward Bound

New Zealand are still relevant and

live on.”

‘The views from running along the ridges were spectacular – the most scenic, beautiful trail running course I’ve ever been on.’

TOP: Alumni enjoying a sea dip! RiGhT: Bruce and Nicki Cardwell. FAR RiGhT: The runners start the marathon at Torea Bay. PHOTOGRAPHER, Niki Simcic.

The first of its kind, the Outward Bound Alumni Half Marathon allowed past students the opportunity to get back down to Anakiwa and re-experience the traditional 21-day course end half marathon.

The 18km run started at Torea Bay,

climbed the Torea Saddle and returned

to Anakiwa along the Queen Charlotte

Track. It was held in conjunction with

an actual course finish, with current

and past students meeting on the

Queen Charlotte Track and crossing

the finish line together.

The morning heralded a calm, sunny

day, with the first runner just making it

under the half inflated finish line! Nick

White, OB Councillor (Classic 2000),

won the race with an outstanding time

of 1 hour 48 minutes, with the first

woman, Leah Neilson (Classic 2010),

finishing 15 minutes later.

‘The run today was very fitting for

Outward Bound – both challenging and

ultimately rewarding. Coming up the

hill climb from Torea Bay was hard

yakka, but the views from running along

the ridges were spectacular – the most

scenic, beautiful trail running course

I’ve ever been on,’ Nick White.

The rest of the participants gradually

made their way over the line, to a roar

of cheers from waiting supporters, OB

students and Alumni runners. In true

OB fashion, the entrants gave it their

best and all successfully completed the

challenging course in the stunning

surroundings.

A number of recognisable members

of Outward Bound participated,

including Bruce Cardwell (Outward

Bound Board President) and Tim Watts

(Outward Bound Council Chair) along

with Outward Bound supporters, Steve

Carr and Jenny Baldwin, who put in a

great fundraising effort – collecting

$2k in sponsorship to contribute to

student scholarships.

Participants were treated to

traditional OB flapjacks, cold showers

and a dip in the sounds to cool down

after the race. Alumni gathered

together for mid afternoon prize-

giving with Dan Moore (race organizer

and OB Curriculum Manager) and Rob

MacLean (School Director). A big thank

you to Kathmandu, Hubbards, Peak

Fuel and Vineyard Half for the amazing

support, prizes and goodies for the

race packs.

The spirit of the day was summed up

perfectly by winner Nick, ‘OB taught

me many years ago to make the most

of every experience – no matter how

challenging – and it felt great to return

to Anakiwa and mark the 50th in such

a fitting way.’ / OB

Our family were well into the concept of Outward Bound before arriving at the chosen site of Anakiwa in 1962. We had lived in England for the previous year, so that my father, Hamish Thomas, could visit existing Outward Bound Schools, and a pilot scheme had been set up on Motatapu Island in the Gulf upon our return. In June that year, we arrived in the Marlborough Sounds, my brother Jamie and I thought it would be a great holiday and brilliant place for sailing – not exactly! These were the days before television, the mail only arrived three days a week and the groceries once a week, so this was a very different experience from our former life in the middle of 1960’s Christchurch.

Huge work needed to be done to

the formerly lovely (and internationally

renowned) guest house. Since the

previous owner’s departure, the new

owners had not kept up the extremely

high standards that had been insisted

on by Mrs Hazelwood. My Uncle, John

Moore from Kekerangu, gathered up

an extraordinary army of volunteers

that arrived every weekend (complete

with his tractor on the farm truck) until

the opening on September 1st, to turn

the buildings into a school.

Unfortunately, the opening had to take

place prior to the first course start in

October, as Lord Cobham was due to

return to England that month. With

much haste, members from the Mana

Cruising Club along with the newly

formed Outward Bound crew and

other local volunteers worked miracles

and got the school ready in time.

With only hours to go, Hamish

discovered that the beautiful new sign

displaying the Outward Bound motto

(from Tennyson’s, ‘Ulysses’) ‘To Serve,

To Strive and not To Yield’ had the

word ‘yield’ spelt incorrectly (this was

later fixed)! The opening was an

occasion with a capital ‘O’. As the press

cuttings record, a veritable who’s who

of the time attended, with Lord

Cobham leading the procession.

As a ten year old, it was terribly

exciting, as the Governor-General and

then Prime Minister, Keith Holyoake,

along with the leader of the

opposition, Sir Walter Nash, arrived

by flying boat. Old curtains artfully

surrounded the temporary stage where

the dignitaries sat. Everyone was

dressed in their best and the school

was officially opened!

While the opening was the seminal

moment the arrival of the first students

(or boys as they were more often

referred to), dressed in sports coats

and ties, was a time of great

nervousness for Hamish. But soon

enough, it all fell into a rhythm of

students coming and going. They boys

arrived pale and not terribly healthy

and left 21 days later, beginning to

appreciate the change that had

taken place.

For my family, it was like in living a

village. The staff all lived on site with

their families and there was always

someone to talk to. Instructors took

the time to teach my brother and I

about boats, bush walking, and

kayaking. There were often visits from

famous people, Sir Walter Nash, Sir

Edmund Hillary and Peter Mulgrew to

name but a few. We often sat at the

back of the room and enjoyed the

stories alongside the students.

The school fast became a huge

success and was accepted not only by

the locals, but by the wider

New Zealand community. Four

hundred and fifty young men passed

through the school in its first year. As

I progressed through into my teens,

I absorbed attitudes and skills that

were certainly different from those of

my peers. Extraordinary to think that

my father gave up a successful criminal

law practice and a very comfortable

existence to do something he truly

believed in. At the time we thought it

was just what everybody did. On

reflection – we realise what an

amazing contribution he made to

our society.

THE FIRST DAYS OF OUTWARD BOUND, ANAKIWA

NEw BEGINNINGS

ThE CUTTER / 7

At the start of May this year, my wife Genevieve and I loaded our three kids, two chickens and White Foot the guinea pig into our van. We drove out of Titahi Bay and made our way to the ferry terminal in Wellington, bringing our North Island years to a close and our return to Outward Bound, Anakiwa imminent.

White Foot took it all in his stride

(being a creature of few words), the

chickens went on strike and have only

recently deigned to start laying eggs

again, and the children exploded out

of the van ready to occupy their new

home, ‘the weatherboard house’ on the

Outward Bound school site. Genevieve

and I breathed deeply, noticed how

much colder the nights were than

across the strait and remembered the

people we had known here before.

Genevieve had started it 11 years ago.

When we met around the time of the

Coast to Coast race in 2001, she had

just completed a staff selection course

at Outward Bound and had been

offered a job as an instructor. I was

doing similar work in the UK and Ireland,

so it was an easy decision for me to

follow her and look for work myself. In

the end, she started working at Outward

Bound in November of that year and I

was offered work on Valentine’s Day

2002. We both instructed for three

years, leaving at the end of 2004,

married and 8 months pregnant.

I am now the Training Manager, my

job is to find, select and train new

instructors. My other job is to father

of Skye (seven), Patrick (four) and

Phoenix (two). Skye is at the Linkwater

school, where rather than being banned

from climbing trees, they take the

school photo with the kids all hanging

from the branches of the large magnolia

by the front entrance. The boys are

enjoying the Havelock pre-school three

days a week, and Genevieve is doing

work experience as a counsellor at

Marlborough Girls College.

We are relishing this life in a

community, within a community. Our

kids roam relatively freely around the

site here at the school, meeting other

kids at the trampoline or in the orchard.

If it ends in tears, members of the

community might get to them first and

dust them off or bring them home. Our

boat is on a mooring only 200m from

our house and we are able to enjoy

getting out for a few hours at a time,

pottering to Picton, Mistletoe Bay, or

Lochmara. This summer we will sail a

bit further afield and enjoy the outer

Sounds and a bit more kai moana!

In October and November 2012, the

50th celebrations peaked at Anakiwa

with the staff reunion and Alumni half

marathon. The staff reunion was a

chance to exaggerate as many stories

as we could (insisting that it was harder

in our day) and meet others whose lives

have been touched as deeply by this

place and this work as ours. It is

humbling to think how many have been

through Outward Bound as staff or

students, to leave more inspired,

refreshed and determined to live a

productive life.

The Marlborough Sounds is an ideal

place for us to be just now. Living

amongst the hills and water,

experiencing rewarding work and a

vibrant community are real privileges

that we feel very lucky to be able

to enjoy.

Outward Bound has recently been collecting stories from our past Navigator and Compass course students. We have had some great reports about professionals returning from their course more energised, focused and stepping up to new opportunities and responsibilities at work.

While it’s exciting to see hear so many

of these consistent reports coming in

from past students, it’s even better

when the company director backs

them up!

Each year Adams, a trades and services

business based in Dunedin, has a number

of new apprentices coming through the

company. Mark was looking for a way

to invest in his new tradesmen and in

his company’s future.

“After attending a two day Outward

Bound Professional ‘taster’ course, I

decided to set up a scholarship for our

best emerging tradesman. We present

the scholarship for an 8 day Compass

Course at the end of each year

at an internal recognition and

rewards ceremony.

We have now had two staff members

complete the course. They have

returned with a better outlook on life

and are more focussed in their careers.

Both have stepped into senior positions

within their areas of the company.

The aspect of Outward Bound

Professional training that has been the

most beneficial is the opportunity for

staff to push their physical and mental

capabilities. They have learnt more

about themselves and have achieved

more than they believed possible. This

has translated into them taking personal

responsibility for their work and for

their attitude in our team.

I think employers need to invest in

their young people. The Compass

course is an effective and practical way

of doing that.”

Outward Bound as a development

option for employees is a choice that

will reward you with lasting benefits

and immediate results in the workplace.

Customers consistently report

employees displaying more confidence,

maturity, focus and contribution to the

team. Furthermore, participants are

more likely to engage in a healthier

lifestyle of regular exercise after

the programme.

We get the best out of people by

helping them realise they are more

capable than they believe. We engage

the learner through emotion, challenge

and support in a team environment and

we develop their leadership through

practical action supported by

expert facilitation. / SHANE WRATT,

Since that time, David has been a

passionate supporter of Outward

Bound, by sponsoring students and

providing financial support for the

Trust’s capital projects. However, his

support has not been just financial. As

a Trust Director since the early 1990s,

a time when the Trust was under

considerable financial stress, he lent his

business acumen to assist in its

restructuring and to facilitate getting

to the strong position the Trust enjoys

today. Sir David was elected Patron of

the Trust in 2003 – a position he still

holds today.

Never one to favour the limelight and

a man of integrity and unquestionable

ethics, David believes in the importance

of ‘giving back’ to the community and

is benefactor of many varied

New Zealand charities. He gives freely

of his time and talent, having been

an active member of the Rotary Club

of Auckland since 1963. His commercial

expertise is evident by his many

directorships.

There is no doubting Sir David has

been a key influence behind the strong

position of the Trust today. We, along

with the many young New Zealanders,

are truly fortunate to have enjoyed his

support over the last 50 years.

‘Supporting Outward Bound since

1962 as a donor, Trust Director,

Foundation Trustee and as current

Patron has been, in reflection,

very personal and satisfying. This

involvement has provided the

opportunity to help many young

people turn around their lives and go

on to achieve greatness in our

communities (Sir David Levene).’

MORE INFORMATION

For the last eight years, the Outward Bound AimHi and SMAD custom courses have offered lower decile schools in culturally diverse areas an opportunity to send students to Outward Bound. Both courses target future leaders and are run during school term and the vision for these courses is, as with all Outward Bound courses, ‘Better People, Better Communities, Better World’.AIMhI AChIEvEMENT IN MULTI CULTURAL hIgh SChOOLS

AimHi originated from a group of

nine decile-one secondary schools

with a large proportion of Maori and

Pacific island students. Out of their

combined research an action plan of

educational initiatives began in 1998,

aimed at raising the levels of

educational achievements of students.

In 2003, Outward Bound provided an

opportunity for 14 students from

schools in the Auckland and Porirua

areas to attend a 21-day course.

Although the AimHi organisation is no

longer in action, Outward Bound has

continued to offer this programme to

the partnership schools including De

La Salle College, Mangere College,

McAuley High School, Otahuhu

College, Porirua College, Sir Edmund

Hillary Collegiate, Southern Cross

Campus, Tamaki College, Tangaroa

College and Aorere College. “Without

fail, every one of our students who

have taken part in the programme has

gone on to serve the school in a formal

leadership role in Year 13,” Patrick

Drumm, Principal, Aorere College.

To date, Outward Bound has seen

126 young people attend an AimHi

course. Maureen Kishore attended the

AimHi course in 2008 while attending

Aorere College. Maureen applied as

she was keen to step outside her

comfort zone, “I learnt at Outward

Bound that you can be much more

than what you think you are. Also that

stepping out of your comfort zone

makes you a stronger person. I am

currently doing an apprenticeship in

air conditioning and refrigeration and

am now a stronger individual. I am able

to make decisions and I am not scared

to try new things.’

SMAD SChOOLS MAKINg A DIFFERENCE

The origin of the SMAD courses is

similar to AimHi. In early 2003, seven

Christchurch secondary schools

gathered to address declining

enrolments, low education standards

and poor community perceptions. A

schooling improvement initiative was

launched and in 2004 the SMAD

course was developed, offering two

students from each of the seven

schools the opportunity to attend a

fully funded Outward Bound course.

The partnership between Outward

Bound and the schools involved in this

programme including Aranui High

School, Catholic Cathedral College,

Hillmorton High School, Hornby high

School, Kaiapoi High School, Linwood

College and Mairehau High School has

seen 112 young people attend Outward

Bound. “To date, of the 24 students

identified as benefiting from this

experience, 10 have gone on to

become either head prefect of deputy

head prefect,” Rob Courtney, Kaiapoi

High School.

Tessa Gourdie attended a SMAD

course while attending Catholic

Cathedral College in 2008. Her

Outward Bound course had a

significant impact on her both in her

work and personal life, “I wanted to

branch out and put what I learnt to

use. I came to the UK as a volunteer

in an outdoor centre specialising in

disabled people. I was always pushing

others beyond what they thought was

their limit. Breaking down these

imaginary walls of disbelief, and

proving no matter who you are,

wheelchair bound or not you can go

the whole way. I learnt to be a more

positive person. I am constantly

pushing myself whether it be a 5km

run, or a personal work goal, around

home and I am always encouraging

friends and family to do more go

further and be happy in doing it.”

Many thanks to the Joyce Fisher

Charitable Trust, Pub Charity,

Youthtown and the Trustees of our

Foundation for their support in running

the AimHi and SMAD programmes.

Cutters to be named ‘Sir Wolf’. “Sir Woolf was always very passionate about youth development and education and The Woolf Fisher Trust is pleased to carry on its support of Outward Bound. I would like to congratulate the Trustees and the Management of Outward Bound for carrying on the vision of the founders of Anakiwa for the last 50 years of wonderful achievements.”

Sir Noel Robinson, Chairman, Woolf

Fisher Trust.

The late Sir Woolf Fisher (1912–1975) was instrumental in the establishment of the Anakiwa site. As a sign of his commitment to this, he was elected as the first President of the Trust, and served in this position from 1961–1963 and as a National Councillor from 1961–1975.

With Lions emphasis on assisting youth in our communities, a natural association formed between Outward Bound and Lions Clubs of New Zealand. Outward Bound’s connection with the Lions Club of Wellington Host has been in place for so long, no one is actually sure when it began! In 2012, they sponsored their 216th OB student!

The club’s primary funding over

several years has come from the

Festival of Magic, held each year in

early December. The club receives

about one fifth of the net proceeds

of the event, with Outward Bound

being one of the lucky recipients.

Lions continued support of Outward

Bound is justified on a case by case

basis, and there have been some

standout cases to date. Two

exceptional recent attendees are Nick

Dowse and John Conly.

SUPPORTING OB SINCE 1962LIONS

“I learnt to be the best you can be and

to take a sense of pride in your actions

and the communities. I gained a deeper

understanding of leadership and group

dynamics and the power of achieving

things as a group. When I get distracted

by meaningless things in life I remind

myself what I truly want to be doing

and can change my mindset and actions

to pursue those, becoming a more

positive person and excited about life.

I’m sure this reflects onto others

around me and it affirms what I value,

family, community, the environment

and music.”

A big thank you from Outward Bound

to all Lions Clubs who have, and

continue to support us. We look

forward to our relationship continuing

for another 50 years. / OB

Nick attended a Classic course in 2011

and was supported by the Lions Club

of Wellington Host and Tinakori. Nick

believes his time at Anakiwa was “The

hardest, most rewarding and probably

most important three weeks of my life.

Outward Bound cultivates an

environment where the weak become

strong and the strong help the weak,

and that is a philosophy that I’ve really

tried to take back into my life and make

a part of me. It has also given me more

confidence in myself and my abilities,

as well as acceptance of who I am and

that I have an intrinsic worth. A lot of

that feeds into what I want to do with

my life, which in turn feeds back into

acceptance of who I am, in a positive,

reinforcing cycle.”

John attended a Classic course in 2010

and was supported by the Lions Club

of Wellington Host, the Rotary Club

of Port Nicholson and New Zealand

Community Trust. John has been able

to transfer some of what he learnt at

Outward Bound to his everyday life.

Sir Woolf, co-founder of Fisher and Paykel, sponsored six young people to go on the pilot programme, and was instrumental in persuading other businesses to sponsor students on subsequent courses.

Lady Joyce Fisher (1912–2009) shared Sir Woolf’s passion for education and she maintained an on-going connection with Outward Bound via her many sponsorships and bequests.

Before her death in 2009, the Trust

would receive a cheque from Lady Joyce

every year, along with a heartfelt

handwritten note endorsing the

wonderful work achieved by Outward

Bound. This support has continued

through regular grants from the Joyce

Fisher Charitable Trust towards

scholarships, with an emphasis on

building leadership in youth.

“The Trustees are delighted to continue assisting Outward Bound to provide opportunities for young New Zealanders to discover and reach their full potential. Outward Bound is even more relevant today than it was when it started in 1962.”

Robert Lerner, Trustee, Joyce Fisher

Charitable Trust, nephew of the late Sir

Woolf and Lady Joyce Fisher.

Phinie Grace Malir-Crawford

attended a 21 day School Leaders

course in January 2012, thanks to

support from the Joyce Fisher

Charitable Trust. She believes her

Outward Bound experience has had a

significant influence on the study and

career path she has chosen to pursue,

“I’ve decided to become a nurse, in this

role I have to be punctual, determined,

brave and give everything I have to care

for people. Outward Bound gave me

self confidence and strength to take on

and achieve this.”

Through Sir Roy’s unwavering belief

in the untapped potential of

New Zealand’s youth, the McKenzie

name is truly embedded in the history

of Outward Bound. It is recognized in

the day to day operations through the

Roy McKenzie Lodge, McKenzie

watchhouse and the support vessel,

the ‘Sir Roy’, to name just a few.

Not only did he sponsor many young

people while he was alive, (including

many with physical and intellectual

impairment) but as a result of his

significant bequest left to the Outward

Bound Foundation, his legacy of

supporting those who would otherwise

not have an opportunity to experience

Outward Bound lives on. Katy Kenah,

with the support of a Sir Roy McKenzie

Scholarship, came to Anakiwa in April

this year.

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot

do everything, but I can do something.

And I will not let what I cannot do

interfere with what I can do (Edward

Everett Hale), describes my Outward

Bound experience, and what I have

taken from it. It was a timely reminder,

at a time of discovery, which led to a

personal change in perspective and

understanding of self.’’

The McKenzie name has been

associated with philanthropy in NZ

since the 1940s when Sir Roy’s father

set up the JR McKenzie Trust. In 1962

the Trust was a key sponsor in the

original establishment of Outward

Bound at Anakiwa, and since then has

also provided much needed support

to many financially disadvantaged

young people. Connected to the JR

McKenzie Trust is the JR McKenzie

Youth Education Trust, administered by

the six Rotary Districts in New Zealand.

This Trust makes small grants

to individuals and families for

children’s education-related costs, as

well as providing Sir Roy McKenzie

Scholarships to young people attending

Outward Bound.

Outward Bound, in conjunction with

the JR McKenzie Youth Education Trust,

runs a JR McKenzie Mind Body Soul

21 day course, with student selections

made by Rotary (with an emphasis on

supporting those from low decile, low

socio-economic communities). Cade

Bedford was one of the participants on

this course in 2008.

“Outward Bound has taught me

everything we do is to better help

others. If you’re not trying to better

yourself you’re not doing anything. I

challenge myself now, as much as I can.”

The McKenzie family’s support of

Outward Bound also comes through

the JR McKenzie Trust and the

Wellington-based investment company

Rangatira Limited.

LEGACIES AT WORKOuTwARd BOuNd

SIR ROY McKeNZIe THANk YOu

RANgATIRA LIMITEDOutward Bound also benefits from

being a shareholder in the Wellington-

based investment company Rangatira

Limited. Rangatira, which recently

marked its 75th anniversary, was

founded in 1937. The shareholders at

that time were the JR McKenzie Trust,

the JR McKenzie Youth Education Fund

and McKenzie family members. Today

Rangatira is 51% owned by the JR

McKenzie Trust, with other community

and charitable organizations, including

Outward Bound, owning a further 15%

of its shares. The balance of shares is

held by private investors, including the

McKenzie family.

Sir Roy McKenzie gifted Outward

Bound a significant number of Rangatira

shares which amount to one of the

largest investments held by the

Outward Bound Trust of New Zealand

Foundation. The dividends Outward

Bound receives from its Rangatira

shareholding have been significant,

particularly so over the past four years

when investment income has fallen as

a result of the global recession. This

has enabled the Trust to set up long

term strategies for supporting low

socio economic communities

across New Zealand from this

dividened stream.

Conin Whakatihi attended a classic

course in 2011 with a Sir Roy McKenzie

Scholarship.‘

“I think one of the main lessons I have

learnt from OB, was how to keep a

positive attitude, even when things are

heading ‘downhill’. Furthermore, I

gained the determination and

confidence I wanted to gain from the

course. OB definitely reinforced the

idea of service too. Before OB I was

hesitant about what I really wanted to

do and was too afraid to take risks and

explore the things I may or

may not enjoy.”

Through the generosity and foresight

of Sir Roy, the ongoing support of the

Trustees of the JR McKenzie Trust

and the Board and Management of

Rangatira, thousands of young

New Zealanders have come to realiae

their true potential and go on to

make a positive contribution to

New Zealand society.

All of us at Outward Bound are

extremely grateful for the ongoing

support of the McKenzie family.

SIR ROy MCKENZIE1922-2007

‘A caring person’, that’s how the late Sir Roy McKenzie (1922-2007) wanted to be remembered.

He is fondly recognised by Outward Bound, not just for being one of life’s true gentlemen, but for his sponsorship of many young people, allowing them to attend an Outward Bound course.

Rotary was involved in the establishment of Outward Bound in New Zealand in 1962, with the Rotary Club of Auckland being the main sponsor. Groups and individuals around the country, including many Rotary clubs and Rotarians, raised over £100,000 to get Outward Bound established. Rotary clubs have continued to support Outward Bound by sponsoring participants

Many Rotarians have been involved

with the governance of Outward Bound

over the years, particularly Sir David

Levene (Rotary Club of Auckland) who

has been a donor since 1962 and is now

Trust Patron. A number of Rotarians

have also been Trust Councilors over

the years.

Since 1962 over 50,000

New Zealanders have experienced

Outward Bound, over 3,000 of them

have been sponsored by Rotary clubs.

September 2012 saw 50 years of

Outward Bound ‘unlocking kiwi

potential’ in New Zealand and to

recognise this, Rotary clubs around

New Zealand pitched in to financially

assist 48 young people to attend the

50th Anniversary Outward Bound

course, which ran from 26th August to

the 15th September.

We caught up with four of them to

find out about how their courses went.

Briar McGougan, a primary school

teacher, was given the opportunity by

Rotary Club of Cambridge to attend a

21 day Classic course

“I applied for the Rotary scholarship,

to gain confidence in leadership and

public speaking. As a school teacher it

is my job to be a comfortable speaker

in front of a large audience, as I am a

role model to my students. I have now

learnt to take risks and grab hold of

opportunities when they are up for the

taking, ‘only those who risk going too

far can possibly find out how far they

can go’, Kurt Hahn.

I pushed myself out of my comfort

zone and realised that potential fears

can be overcome and have learned to

make choices fast and act on them.

I now make sure the word CAN’T is

non-existent in my vocab. If you think

you CAN’T you CAN’T if you think you

CAN you WILL!”

Kate Williamson, was lucky enough

to be chosen by the Rotary Club of

Rangiora to go on the 50th anniversary

21 day Classic course.

“I discovered the great empowerment

you feel after pushing yourself outside

of your comfort zone, like rock climbing

blindfolded, tramping up a mountain

or jumping into freezing cold water – to

discover you will touch ground again,

you will reach the summit and you will

dry and warm up again. Being put in

such situations helps develop a better

understanding of who you are as

a person.

I was terrified of public speaking

before Outward Bound. After being

thrown into it on the first night and

then challenged constantly throughout

the course, I had no problem standing

up at my local rotary club and giving a

15 minute presentation on my time at

OB. I actually enjoyed it, rather than

experiencing the usual paralyzing fear

that normally accompanied this kind

of event.

Thank you again Rotary Club of

Rangiora for giving me this opportunity,

organisations like you are so important

to developing young people

like myself.”

Jeshua MacDonald was sponsored by

Rotary Club of Downtown Auckland

to attend the 21 day course.

“During the course you are together

as a school, isolated as a watch, and

tested as an individual. I realised there

is more time in the day if we burn the

excuses we use, we don’t need as much

food as we eat, your ego can make you

climb mountains, we don’t need long

showers, girls can keep up with guys,

there is always time for a photo, to be

able to lead you need to be able to

follow and everybody needs to drink

more water!

The bottom line is: Outward Bound

is more than a single event, it offers an

ideology about life and the importance

of constructive interactions with the

people and the environment.”

Delcelia Crummer, a sports co-

ordinator, was sponsored by Rotary

Club of Auckland.

“When I look back at my course, I

loved that through the challenges,

people were there to encourage each

other to keep striving forward. The first

thing I learnt during my course is that

there are NO personal boundaries if

you want to keep warm! A quote

definitely relates to my time in Anakiwa

is, ‘Life isn’t fun unless it’s hard.’”

Outward Bound would like to send a

huge thanks to all of the Rotary Clubs

in New Zealand. Without their ongoing

support, many Kiwis would not have

had the opportunity to experience their

true potential./ OB

FOR SUPPORTING USTHANk YOu

Feedback from our students and their parents, teachers and employers consistently tells us that an Outward Bound course teaches people about themselves and gives them the confidence to go beyond their limits and expand their horizons.

So, how are we funded? You may be

surprised to hear that the Trust receives

no direct government funding. Students

are expected to actively fundraise

within their local communities,

with many community and service

organisations providing financial

assistance to help with the cost of a

course. In addition, we have a $20m

operational asset base in Anakiwa, that

requires an annual capital replacement

of over $300,000 each year.

We have a 3 step strategy of ‘self,

community and Outward Bound’, and

to support the Outward Bound portion

of this strategy, we receive donations

from individual donors and grants

from funding organisations and

Charitable Trusts.

We have indeed been fortunate to

receive continued support from many

of our donors and community funding

groups and would like to take this

opportunity to especially thank the

many individuals and organisations

that have provided long term

financial support.

There are a number of community

related scholarship programmes

that have been running over the

years, including Acorn Foundation (Tauranga), The Annie Kersley Memorial Scholarship Fund, in

memory of Outward Bound instructor

Annie Kersley (Middleton Grange

School, Christchurch), Buller District Council, Community Trust of Southland, Cossie Club upper hutt, Douglas

pharmaceuticals (supporting our

Upbeat Parkinson’s group), Geoff & Clare loudon, The Keith Managh Memorial Scholarship Fund (Thames

High School, Thames), Andrew Duncan Scholarship Fund, Mrs rosmond Granger, napier Masonic Trust, norman Jones Foundation, otago Community Trust, paul o’Brien Trust (Tauranga), rodie Charitable Trust (South Taranaki), ronaki limited

(Kerikeri High and Springbank Schools),

St patrick’s Day Golf Classic Charitable Trust (Fianna Scholarships), The Ben Gough Trust (St Andrews College,

Christchurch), and yWCA of Aotearoa.

In addition to the various community

related scholarships we acknowledge

the support of our OB Supporters

programme: Grant Aislabie, Shelley Bignell, nick Binns, helen Fletcher, ian harrison, Allan Jury, nicole potter, Trevor Taylor, Christine Watson.

Financial membership is the backbone

of the governance of the Trust and we

thank our life members, many of whom

also made an annual donation towards

the operations of the Trust. Donations

received from membership are held in

a Membership Scholarship Fund and

used to financially support young

people coming to Outward Bound.

We would like to also take this

opportunity to make mention of our

Board and Members Council, who

work hard to ensure Outward Bound

continues to thrive in these challenging

financial times.

All donations will be protected in an Endowment fund within the Outward Bound of New Zealand Foundation, and are tax deductable.

The right honourable Charles John lyttelton, 10th viscount Cobham, was the catalyst in the formation of outward Bound new Zealand and was patron from 1962 until his death in 1977. in April 1978 outward Bound launched the Cobham Memorial Scholarship fund in his memory.

lord Cobham felt strongly that outward Bound should be within the reach of every young new Zealander, so it is fitting that this scholarship fund is being re-launched in outward Bound’s 50th anniversary year.

Many thanks to our current patron, Sir David levene, who has pledged $50,000 to kickstart the campaign.

wHY mAkE A CONTRIBuTION? You can HELP Outward Bound participants by contributing to this fund. Since

its launch, the Cobham Memorial Scholarship Fund has sponsored over 40 young

people, many of whom just needed that last little helping hand.

HOw TO mAkE A CONTRIBuTION? Fill out the Cobham Memorial Scholarhip Fund donation form opposite

THINKING ABOUT MAKING A BeQUeST?

For more information on Bequests contact our Finance & Funding Manager, Diane Leyten. dleyten@outwardbound.co.nz 04 495 1762

1. PROTECT THE BASE FuNd

You can protect the base fund and use

any income that is generated for the

purpose of either providing scholarships,

gear rollover or capital projects, around

the criteria you designate. In this case

the donation would be left to the

Outward Bound Trust of New Zealand

Foundation. The principal sum would

generally need to exceed $50,000.

A bequest or legacy is a gift of

money or assets that you bequeath

(leave) in your will. It is best to

discuss your needs with us prior to

seeing your solicitor, so that we can

talk through the options available,

and can prepare with you a

Memorandum of Understanding so

that you can be assured we will use

your gift the way you have intended.

2. ExPENd THE AmOuNT dIRECTLY

TO wHERE YOu wANT

You can expend the amount directly

into scholarships, gear rollover,

capital projects or our general

purposes (we would use the bequest

for the project with the greatest need,

but have a general focus of scholarships).

3. LIVING GIFTS

Living Gifts are made while the

donor is still alive. You can make

Endowment type gifts over a period

of time, these gifts would generally

sit in the Outward Bound Trust of

New Zealand Foundation.

The Outward Bound Clinker Cutters have been instrumental in helping

over 50,000 New Zealanders unlock their potential. As these boats

are now reaching the end of their lives, we need your help to keep

the tradition alive so that the next 50,000 New Zealanders have the

same opportunity. The Endeavour II and Resolution were both built

in 1975, the Rotorongatai in 1990 and, due to rot, are becoming

expensive to maintain. The new cutters will be modelled on the

recently rebuilt diagonally plyed fibre-glass Matahorua, so the look

of the traditional cutter will be maintained, but their capability and

strength improved. The cost is $200,000 per cutter. We have replaced
