Term two in Year 7

By Karen Parker | Posted: Monday June 1, 2020

Welcome back to term 2.

It has been great to see the students coming back to school after being away longer than they were here. It certainly has been an interesting start to Intermediate life for our Year 7's. One in which they are taking in their stride.

The Year 7's did very well navigating their way through their online learning over the course of the school holidays and subsequent levels. It was great to see them during their zoom meetings, sharing what they had been up to as well as meeting some amazing pets. 

This term we are focusing on our 2040 Projects through aspects of STEAM.  Students will work through six modules before deciding on which aspect they want to take further and create a physical or digital model to present their findings in term three. 

We have made some changes to our Year 7 programme. Science fair will be optional due to the time frame to complete and some students might like to take their 2040 projects further into this area.

Year 7 speeches will feature at the end of the term and we look forward to hearing the students speeches on their interests, passions, or concerns.

Winter tramps and our visit to the University of Otago have been removed from the programme this term and we will be looking to reintroduce these at a later stage.
