Nauta is also a good learning tool for the girls as they are encouraged to write articles for the magazine about their experiences each term. The back page also features an activities section, where the girls can further develop their theory knowledge ready to put it into practice in our summer terms. Nauta as a whole provides families, volunteers and newcomers with the history of Young Mariners, and how our organisation has grown, as well as information about what we do, and how young girls can build their on-water skills and confidence.

Nauta is a magazine about an Organisation called Young Mariners, I grew up in Mariners and now volunteer for them as an assistant unit leader for my unit, Tauranga. I created the magazine as a way for the families of the girls who attend, to see what activities and learning the girls do when attending a Mariners session. The magazine is also a good way for leaders and volunteers to see what activities other units do during our terms so that we can discover new ideas for our term plans each year.
