The sun was out, the wind was flying around, seagulls swooping, and -although a little windswept by the end of the day-a great day was had by all. The challenge on the day was to use a topographical map to create a replica of the Matua Peninsula and part of the Ōtūmoetai area.

The students had a great time linking the map to their local knowledge, and creating the models in the sand. Outstanding examples were made on the day.

Huge thanks to our parent help, Jihye Lee, and Mrs McPike. 

These assessments are based on the curricula for the relevant year. Students are asked to demonstrate a deeper, integrated, and thorough level of learning. Students are rewarded with either a Participation, Merit, Credit, Distinction or High Distinction certificate.

This year we had a number of students achieve Distinction, which is the top 10% of participants and a High Distinction which means that the student is in the top 1% of participants.
