What great opportunities for our ākonga to see what can be achieved with hard work and determination!
What an amazing event this is for our Taranaki Mohoao cluster. Each year our communities kura share and share their kapa haka journey. We are so fortunate to have Matua Lukey support our rōhe.
Our Year 5-8 ākonga are able to practise many of their performace pieces for the upcoming Tatārakihi performance later in the term.
26th August, Week 6
We were fortunate to have the Heat Kits into Schools sessions.
The Heat Kits into Schools initiative is a hands-on learning programme designed to help tamariki understand what makes a warm, dry, healthy, and energy- efficient home. Delivered by WISE Charitable Trust with support from Powerco and Health New Zealand, the programme combines practical tools, interactive learning, and at-home exploration to empower students and their whānau. Through this initiative, students become active participants in understanding how homes work — learning about heat loss, moisture, ventilation, and energy use in a way that is engaging, practical, and meaningful.
4th August, Week 3
All classes have have been enjoying practising their rugby skills over the past three weeks.
It was great to continue to build on their touch skills they learnt through Term 1. Our seniors are learning to be more confident in judging the force needed to make an accurate pass and the juniors holding the ball correctly and passing to a partner who is ready to receive the pass.
