Our latest creations

The New Zealand Fairy Tern is the rarest endemic breeding bird in Aotearoa. Room 14 has been working on art work with a message to help protect them. Last week they donated them to Heather a representative from the Fairy Tern Charitable Trust. We hope they make a difference by showing people what they can do to look after these special birds.

 
They also left us these beautiful chocolates in appreciation of our work for their cause.
 
 
 
 
Room 7 want to draw attention to the fact that Technology Addiction is dominating the lives of young people. Their mural shows the contrast between two sides of the brain with and without technology. They also held a technology free week, where students gave up certain items of technology for a week.
 

 
 
Continuing on the topic of Technology Addiction, Room 8 capture their target audience with a sneaky strategy, by luring them in with a gaint TV screen. Upon closer inspection, potential technology addicts will be able to see how video game addiction could affect them mentally, physically, emotionally and socially.

 
 
 
Room 17 want to encourage young children to make healthy food choices, so they designed a food race, with characters such as Brocolli aka Lean Mean Running Machine taking out lead of the pack. they aim to educate others about healthy eating.
