Year 8 2017

Welcome to Year 8 2017.

Petra Leonard

Introducing Room 12!

Room 12 (Miss Leonard) a year 8 class and most of us are sporty! We love the game 'Stop' (a game a bit like cricket but it takes too long to explain), and even last year when we were in Room 8 with Mr. J we were the year 7 winners. We are all very enthusiastic about learning and sport this year, and keen to try our best!!

"Question Number One. Who wrote.............."

In the photo above Ava Reid, Josephine Tarasiewicz, Tamara Freeland and Charlotte Campbell are resting against the giant rock outside Te Papa in Wellington 30 mins or so before the 2016 National Lit Quiz Final. Two hours earlier they'd been flying 24,000 feet above the Southern Alps. 5 weeks prior to that they decided to enter a school reading contest.....and before that they simply shared a deep love of reading. They simply enjoyed reading!!... and at Tahuna they had the chance to extend this enjoyment......but now..."What are you going to get into at Tahuna?"
