What a fantastic week the year 7 students had during Marae Week.

Term 4 has begun very well with everyone settling back into school routines after the holiday break. It is a busy term as there are many learning activities happening in and out of the school. Our focus as always will be on students giving their very best to achieve to the best of their ability no matter what the learning context.

Tahuna Year7's have fun while showing their creative side within their stencils.

As part of Marae Week our Tech Department was also caught up in all thing Māori.

The Tahuna Bike sheds have been filled to capacity over the past few weeks as our Year 7 students complete their Grade 1 & 2 cycle training with the wonderful team from the DCC.

Year 7 students enjoyed their session in the workshop designing a gift or a Taonga with a meaning or story .

Did you know harekeke has many uses??

Music this term is focusing on digital music.  Kids have been using a range of apps and processes to create music with a specific emotional focus.  Music is then added to imagery which enhances the feel of their music.

Every year our revenue from our chocolate sales gains Tahuna plenty of funds to invest in iPads and other IT equipment. Because of this we are incredibly well resourced and the envy of other schools. 

Year 7 to 10 students from Dunedin gathered at the Kings and Queens Auditorium for the annual Orchestral Workshop.   Students from Tahuna experienced the day for the first time.

Tahuna students achieve highly in Dunedin school competition and representative tournaments. 

Recently in New Zealand, we have become more aware of rehabilitating people from prison back into the community. There is an official process that must be undertaken so people in the community concerned are informed of the situation. This means that they can both be supportive and stay safe.

Despite the cold weather this morning we managed to get the sports day finished. Lots of great results and plenty of smiles. Next week we send a team of over 100 students to South Zone. Holly and Abdul took out their respective races for the fastest girl and boy at Tahuna.

Last week Room 1 travelled out to Long Beach for a day of rock climbing and exploring caves. We were lucky to have beautiful weather and we all enjoyed the experience.
