Ben's Trap


Room 2 is learning about introduced pests and their effect on New Zealand's ecosystem. Today, Ben brought in a small gin trap used on his farm to catch possums.

Kaimai Classic Adventure Race (School Team)


Team Greenpark (School). Anna (Road Cycle), Warren (Run), Josh (Mtn Bike) and Me (Kayak)


Josh transitioning to me...


Away I go! (blue boat, a very heavy sea kayak compared to some of the other racers!)




Transitioning to Anna for her road cycle. We had to changeover the team bib and transponder (satellite tracking device) so the organisers could keep track of our time.

Class in Action


My students enjoying the challenge of designing and perfecting their very own signatures. For most of them, this is their first attempt at creating a personal 'mark' that identifies them. We also got some of the teaching and management staff to sign a large sheet of card. We had lots of fun trying to identify the owners of each signature!

I have been very slack lately at keeping this up-to-date. I promise to give you an update (with pics of course!) in the next week or so! How is everyone?!
