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.’

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.

disadvantaged young people from all
over New Zealand to experience
Outward Bound. The Trustees have just
provided a grant towards the
replacement of the 2nd clinker built
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.

THINKING ABOUT MAKING A BeQUeST?
For more information on Bequests contact our Finance & Funding Manager, Diane Leyten. [email protected] 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.

if you have any questions about The Cutter contact liz Slater [email protected]
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
two – we need your help replacing the third!
