Year 8 News

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to our class programmes this term. It has been an action-packed 10 weeks, where we’ve made the most of our community resources and local expertise to inspire and motivate our students. From our visit to the Toitū Museum to the support shown at our quiz nights, it has truly been a fulfilling and rewarding term.

Rooms 4 and 26 had a fantastic experience at Berwick Camp, and the other classes are eagerly preparing for their upcoming trips. None of these opportunities would be possible without your support, so a huge kā mihi from all our students and staff.

This term, our focus has been on exploring the events and people who have shaped our city, province, and country. Over the past two weeks, we have hosted three quiz nights to showcase student learning. It has been heartwarming to see students step up and take part with such enthusiasm. A special thank you to those who performed, providing wonderful entertainment to a packed audience.

Looking ahead to next term, our integrated unit of study is titled “Choose Your Path.” Students will explore decision-making skills, particularly around health-related issues. We are also looking forward to visits from the Life Education Bus and a motivational speaker from Attitude NZ, they will be working with students on cyber safety.

After a very busy first term, the Year 8 staff wish all students a safe, enjoyable, and relaxing school break.

Kā mihi,

Year 8 Staff
