Year 8 News

Year 8 students have had an amazing term, engaging in various activities including PBL (Project-Based Learning) - Ko Wai Au, the Relationships and Sexuality health unit, the Kotuitui sports program, summer sports, and finally, the much-awaited start of our Year 8 camps.
Rooms 10 and 11 will embark on a thrilling journey to Camp Columba in week 11 for an action-packed and fun-filled week. A heartfelt thanks extend to the following organisations and companies for their generous donations and support:

- Grassroots Trust

- New Zealand Community Trust

- Kaans

- Quality Bakers

We've also commenced our preparations for the Chemistry-based PBL topic for Term 2. Students were enthralled by Dr. Dave Warren from the University of Otago with his captivating experiments and reactions. The level of excitement and engagement from the Year 8 students was truly remarkable.

Looking ahead to Term 2, here are some of the upcoming units and activities:

- Prime Maths

- Continuation of Year 8 Camps

- PBL focus on chemistry

- Winter Sports

- Swimming

Wishing you all a wonderful break, and we eagerly anticipate seeing you in Term 2.
