All the best to the Year 8s as they move on to secondary school.
We look forward to seeing what great role models the Year 7 will be as Year 8s and wish Brooke and Kody all the best in their leadership roles for next year.

This blog is now closed.

Thanks for a great year Room 3.
Merry Christmas and have a great summer break.

Day 5 - Coach A

Spending a whole week with a large group of people on a bus and visiting the places organised is always a challenge.  We had a great bunch of kids and adults on our bus.  It certainly helped having a dvd player for the trip home!!!


Day 5 - Te Rauparaha Pools Porirua

A morning at the pool was the perfect way to end our busy EOTC week at Wellington.








Day 4 - White Men Can Jump!!!

Wellington's waterfront is a hive of activity especially on a stunning day like today.  There is one area in particular where you can jump into the water.  Whilst many of the students would have loved the chance to jump in, we left it to Mr Wroe and Mr Miller!!



Day 4 - City by Night


We ended our fourth day with a trip across to the city on the ferry, followed by a ride up the cable car and a drive up to Mt Victoria to take in the view.

Mrs Jackson's Whanau

During our camp we have been placed in Whanau groups to make it easier to keep track of us!  After the City Gallery, Mrs Jackson's whanau group went for a wander.


Day 4 - City Gallery


The exhibition we viewed was Kermadec - Nine Artists in the South Pacific.  These artist had spent time in the Kermadecs (an area between NZ and Tonga) and visually represented their experiences.  We were given sketch pads to recreate some of these images and then transfer these ideas onto paper with indian ink.
