We have a beautiful new facility for senior students from all over the district. Here some students are working in the soft materials room. Here pupils from another school are learning sewing skills and the use of modern machinery.

Room 3 made Hauora posters to explain our well being. We had to put something to represent our spiritual , mental and emotional , physical and social well being. First our teacher took photos of us and enlarged our faces. Than we coloured our faces in with pastels and crayons. After that we cut our faces out and sticked them on a large piece of paper. Next we cut things out of magazines to represent us. Heres a photo of Nadias.
