Teachers as Learners at MHP!![]()
Our teachers embraced their role as learners during a hands-on Visual Arts professional learning. They took charge of the paint brushes today and explored painting skills and techniques including blending and mixing colours, brushwork, layering, texture and creating different effects.![]()
A wonderful opportunity to experiment, be creative and build confidence to inspire our tamariki through Visual Arts!
What a wonderful celebration of learning at our SLC Assembly! Our tamariki proudly showcased the exciting learning happening in their classrooms through poems, persuasive writing about online safety, songs and skit.![]()
We also celebrated Filipino Language Week, embracing and recognising the richness of Filipino language and culture through poems, songs, and dance.![]()
Finally, the assembly was also a special opportunity to farewell Mrs Norton. We thank her for the dedication, care, and positive contribution she has made to our school community for the past 16 years and we wish her all the very best for the next chapter of her journey.
Our Year 1 Perceptual Motor Programme (PMP) provides a fun and engaging way for tamariki to develop important physical and learning skills. Through a range of movement-based activities, children build hand-eye and foot-eye coordination, balance, body awareness, spatial awareness, and gross and fine motor skills.![]()

The programme also helps to develop concentration, listening skills, confidence, coordination, strength, agility, and the ability to follow instructions. These foundational skills support children not only in their physical development but also in everyday classroom learning and participation.
Learning in action! Today, our Year 4 students took their study of rocks and geography to the next level with interactive stations. They examined rock textures, sculpted the Earth's inner layers out of modelling clay, and modelled volcano types using flour. It was an awesome afternoon of science, discovery, and creative learning!
Our teachers have been hard at work today exploring the new Science Curriculum in preparation for 2027. It has been exciting to unpack the opportunities it will bring for hands-on learning, curiosity, questioning and discovery across our school.![]()

We are looking forward to helping our learners explore the world around them through meaningful, engaging science experiences.

We are very proud of our youngest learners and the many ways they continue to show 'Growing Excellence'. 🌟
Year 6 are exploring the history of Aotearoa New Zealand. Last week they stepped back in time with a visit to Howick Historical Village, where they experienced what life was like in the past and discovered how people lived, worked and learned in earlier times. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience, and the students had an amazing time!
