Star Gazing - Titiro ki nga whetū
Our school-wide focus this term is Planet Earth and Beyond!
This science strand is about the interconnecting systems and processes of the Earth, the other parts of the solar system, and the universe beyond. This has been a very exciting topic for many of our students and teachers.
Did you know the Canterbury Astronomical Society has strong links to education with an active kids training programme and public open night calendar every year. You can register for a free account on the site and browse around.
As part of the Kidsfest programme you can visit our local Observatory in West Melton, some of the teachers will be visiting too.
Kidsfest tickets are now on sale for our world-famous in NZ open nights designed for those budding astronomers in your midst!
Fingers crossed for some great viewing weather and we are really looking forward to running this year after so many cancellations over the past years!
As always our tickets are on sale via Eventbrite:
