A visit to the Otakau Marae

 Welcome

The Senior classes had a wonderful learning experience at the Otakau Marae. They were welcomed onto the marae. All children had an opportunity to say their mihi and take part in interesting activities.

Model 1A children had a fantastic day at the Otakau Marae.

Thank you for the support given by the tutors. 

Model 1A is a class full of amazing kids with amazing talents.  Here are some photos of kids doing their strengths on Wednesday afternoon when we have challenge based and strength based learning. We focus on areas of strengths which could be sport, dancing, art or any thing you're good at. Challenge based learning is when we work on the area we have chosen to improve.
