People keep themselves sane and healthy by playing sport such as netball, rugby, soccer, basketball, cricket, karate, golf, swimming and just plain old walking and jogging. That doesn't mean to say that Reefton isn't a great place to live because it is. We're really looking foward to taking part in this project. We're really impressed by the large amount of information available if we could only get our computers to work better. The population of Akitio Beach Village is 24.
Most children come to school from the outlying farms by bus.
In each class we have 12 children. The age's range from 5 to 12 years. All the chidren here have to go to boarding school when they leave primary school as the nearest college bus is 70km away. There are 3 boats fishing for crayfish and wet fish out of Akitio most of the year. We can surf, boogie board, swim or fish in the sea.
