Our students are regularly out and about on school trips that support and enhance their curriculum learning experiences.
Year 12 Internal
Science students recently travelled to Christchurch to visit Orana Wildlife
Park and the Antarctic Centre as an introduction to their unit on Survival.
They learnt about animal adaptations, the technologies humans use to survive in
Antarctica, and experienced a -14 ̊C
snow storm. Students gained new knowledge and developed an impressive
vocabulary that will come in handy when completing their assessment task later
in the term. Highlights for the boys were seeing the gorillas and feeling cold
in the snow storm simulator - they thoroughly enjoyed their trip.
In the April Newsletter, the Rector reported on the presentation to the school of copies of We Will Remember Them compiled by Stewart Entwistle.
The book outlines the
story of the Memorial Library and annotates the lives of all those Old Boys who
are named on the Rolls of Honour. It may be of interest to families
of these Old Boys.
We Will
Remember Them is being marketed by Old Boys’ Registrar Bruce Leadley on behalf
of the Entwistle Family. Please contact him at: bmleadley@xtra.co.nz or
phone 03-688-1447 if you
are interested. The purchase price is $50.
