Maths and Science Badges Are Back!
Students who have a particular interest in Science, Maths and all things STEM are encouraged to begin working towards achieving a maths or science badge in 2024. Over recent years, the maths and science badge program has successfully encouraged students to pursue a deeper interest in these subjects. These programs are participated in by students from across New Zealand and are designed to foster and develop students' knowledge and understanding of maths and science.
Students purchase an activity card for their chosen area of study and complete their choice of tasks. Once the required number of tasks has been completed, students are then awarded their badge at our whole school assembly.
There are many different topics and areas of both maths and science that children can choose from, such as; astronomy, geology, marine biology, time, sport, the outdoors and many, many more!
Students can begin working towards their badge at any time and take as much time as needed to complete it. Students who have already begun working towards their respective badges previously can carry on with them and have their work checked off by me when they are done.
To begin the ordering process students can come & see me in person before or after school in my upstairs Maunga room or contact me via my email address below. There is a fee of $10.00 for the maths activity card and badge and $6.00 for the science badge and activity card which can be added to your parent Hero account.
Please click on the links to the websites below to access all of the relevant information about the maths and science badge programs and I hope we can have even more participants explore and extend their love of maths and science this year!
Many thanks,
