Check out our art work!

Some of the projects students have created in Art so far this year...

 

Room 7 enlisted Minecraft style visuals to help spread the word about Melanoma and sun exposure through a Sun Safety Mural .

 

Room 20 students are tackling poaching through messgaes about how it eefects future generations of the species. 

 

 

Room 9 aimed to show how rubbish effects our sea life by creating scultpures out of rubbish collected on a beach clean up near Kelly Tarltons.

 

 

 

 Room 21 set out to find a way to encourage energy saving in our school. They have desined and created posters to fit around light switchs to remind people to turn the lights off to help slow global warming.

 

Muffin Magic

Testing which muffin recipe would be a favourite for the students to purchase if they were available from the Tuck shop... Yummmm!

Our Rain Drains

To help make a difference in our ocean, we need to take action. The Water Pollution group from Room 7 have begun painting their designs on 3 storm water cesspit drains in the Mansfield and Ngata lunch eating areas, to help raise awareness of the affect of litter on marine life. Although it looked like an old school form of punishment to the untrained eye, there was some enjoyment had during the scrubbing session to prepare the sites before painting.

How do our drains effect turtles?

Littering is more than just an eye sore, it's killing our marine life. Busy planning their designs for art work that raises awareness on this issue are a group of Room 7 students. Armed with chalk and a passion for their mission to spread the word, their designs soon will be a permantant reminder on the drains around H.I.S to change our ways for the sake of the marine life in the Hauraki Gulf and beyond.

Amo La Pizza

Wow! We’ve come back from fitness to Big Pizza Pies. It’s Amore ( To quote DEAN MARTIN ) They are so delicious our mouths are watering in anticipation!!!

Melanoma Foundation visit

A group of students from Room 7 invited representatives from the Melanoma Foundation of New Zealand to come and speak to them about skin cancer for their inquiry learning. Linda and Lyn shared some very interesting, helpful, and concerning information about melanoma. These students are aiming to create art work that helps raise awareness of skin cancer,and encourages students at H.I.S to be sun smart. Students also presented ideas they have to help raise money for the foundation on Spotty Day, which will be held on March 28th. Watch this space to see what they come up with.
