YEAR 8 EDUCATION OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
During weeks 7 and 8, our Year 8 students attended their annual camp at Tawharanui Regional Park. A team of experts from Auckland Zoo engaged students in learning about this exquisite environment right on our local doorstep. We would like to say a huge thank you them, to Miss Turrell, Mr Ganley, Mr Frost, Mrs Hodder, our senior PE and Hospitality students, our awesome parent helpers and the dedicated Year 8 teachers for another great outdoor experience. Pictured above: Year 8 teacher Mrs Holm, with students from her class.
OUR NEW SCHOOL APP
SCHOOL, NORTH HARBOUR & AUCKLAND ATHLETICS
In addition to our new website, we have launched a school app for phone and tablet. The new app enables parents and students to receive essential information on the go; especially valuable for sports practices and games, as well as to quickly notify our parents of any unforeseen changes. It’s free to download. Search Mahurangi in your app store (for both iOS and Android) under phone apps.
