Young Leaders Day 2014

Today the year 8's travelled to Wellington to participate in the National Young Leaders Day conference. Students listened to inspiring speakers such as Jamie Fitzgerald from the TV programme First Crossings. The theme of the day was 3D: DREAM, DARE, DEVELOP. The students will continue to work on this theme back at school - watch out for their upcoming presentations. The photos below show us looking good in our 3D glasses around Wellington and no, the year 8's do not all fit in a telephone box, but it was fun trying! A big thanks to Karla Matthews for joining us for the day and to the BOT for funding such a worthwhile experience for our school leaders.

What's the commotion in the ocean?

Our recent trip to the Island Bay Marine Education Centre was a fantastic start to our Inquiry Unit, where throughout the term we will be investigating the question:  "What is the commotion in the ocean?"
