War Inquiry.
Our war inquiry will draw to a close next week. The students are working studiously to meet the project deadline of next Monday. We have been thoroughly impressed with so many students in their ability to manage their time effectively and take ownership for their learning. The teachers are really looking forward to seeing the final products with all their tasks packaged together.
Hutt City Art Project.
Our art ambassadors have been busy creating two fantastic pieces of art for the Hutt City Council while their premises are getting earthquake strengthened. The theme for this project was 'Why we love Hutt City'. Well done to all our art team and a special thanks to Mrs Allen and Felicity for their guidance.
The Royals!
After a successful field trip to Government House last month, some of our Year 8 Leaders were invited back on Monday to be a part of the official welcoming ceremony for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. We were very honoured to attend this special occasion. It was touch and go as to whether the event would take place due to the dicey forecast. It was well worth the long wait in the wind and rain to get a glimpse of the the famous couple. After a very powerful powhiri, the National Anthem and 21 gun salute, the Duke and Duchess made a beeline for us!
We had a lovely chat about the weather and the plans for the upcoming holidays. One of the most exciting parts of the day was being interviewed by the masses of media from around the world covering the event. Once again our leaders demonstrated exemplary behaviour and were outstanding ambassadors for our school.
Milly also got an early morning call from a The Edge radio station asking to give her reflection on the big day. Check it out about 38 minutes in here
