Section outline

  • Welcome back 8C2. 


    The year 2020 has been an extraordinary one. We have seen the world halt, crumple, revive and unite. If anything, this extraordinary experience has taught us to stop, reflect and trust the power of unity, resilience and courage, value individuality, and spread understanding, empathy and empowerment. 

     Mauria te pono.  Kia kaha!


    In the next two weeks, we will dedicate our focus to building understanding through empathy and empowerment. 

    You will also practise and present your Science Fair project for English oral assessment.
