Year 8 News

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to our class programmes this term. We’ve had an action-packed last few weeks, making the most of our community resources and local experts to inspire and motivate our students. From our visit to the Toitū Museum, completing a first aid camp course and preparing for our syndicate quiz nights, it has been and will continue to be a hive of activity in all classes. Rooms 4 and 25 had a fantastic experience at Berwick Camp, and the other classes are eagerly preparing for their own trips, early next term. None of these experiences would be possible without your support, so a huge Kā Mihi from all the students and staff.

This term, our focus has been on learning about the events and people who have shaped our local region. In the final two weeks of term , each syndicate will host a quiz night to showcase what they’ve learned. This quiz is a key part of the students' PBL (Project-Based Learning) for the term. The students are working hard to plan and organise the event, aiming to teach our community about the rich history of Otago.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s learning, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your class teacher. The parent interviews scheduled for next week will be an opportune time to touch base.
