Studying surviving artifacts from the war acknowledging the bravery of the soldiers. As we question a student named Maopa why are they going to North head Maopa respond saying that they are going to North Head to discover the life of war.

Students were provided with specific sets of instructions and a designated adult to supervise behavior and ensure their safety throughout the day. Transport was waiting patiently outside for the tamaki students to be settled in.

They arrived at the Ferry Terminal in the remarkable city of Auckland, searching for their Ferry to arrive ready to take them to their location. They were taken across the waitemata harbour  as they reached their destination to observe the trip up complaining about the predictably tiring journey ahead of us.

Her comment was accompanied by a breathless Caprice, a year 8 student in Room 8 “To be honest all though it was tiring over all the money that I used to pay  for the trip and the walk was  all worth it.”

Alison recounted “As I walked up the mountain I was tired and I knew that I would walk up that huge mountain and come back down and that was so cool how we went into the tunnels. The only bad thing was everyone screaming like girls even the the boys!”

The trip to North-Head was full of positive events and fun adventures to discovered as we explore further into the mountain.

Welcome Mr Wong

Year 8 open day at Tamaki College

I have had an amazing day today at Tamaki College and I have learnt heaps of new things there today. I was scared at first but then I felt confident and I was so eager to learn more things.

A lot of schools went to Tamaki College to experience what is the life to be a year 9 and so we can be prepared for college. I met heaps of new people and I got to see some of my friends and family for other schools. It was so fun and I just had an amazing time there.

My favorite class was science because we got to make bouncy balls and we had to make a helicopter that can go the highest. The one that went the highest got a prize and the prize was some yummy lollies.  I had so much fun and I got to learn more things and some new sites I can go on to help me with my learning.

Thank you so much Tamaki College for all the hard work you have done for us. Thanks for the free lunches you have gave us. !! GOD BLESS
