Sustainability

November 23, 2020 Hayley Russell 311

On Friday 20 November, twenty Eco-Warriors from the Somerville Intermediate Enviro Team travelled to Arataki Visitors Centre to compete in a Sustainability Challenge.

 

In groups four, they had to navigate around the Waitakere ranges, finding checkpoints and completing activities with a sustainability theme. Some of the activities included identifying various native plants and animals, learning about how native long tailed bats use echolocation to navigate and catch prey, identifying pests by their teeth marks, and how valuable our kereru birds are when dispersing seeds. 

Most students had never taken part in orienteering, so it was a steep learning curve. However, after a few mistakes and setbacks, they got to grips with the basic elements of map reading and started to accumulate points around the course. There was an element of fitness involved as well as problem solving. The students experienced great satisfaction when success was achieved, either by successfully completing a challenge or finding an elusive checkpoint using clues and a never give up attitude.

The day would not have been possible without our wonderful parent helpers, Mr Wilson, Ms Smith, Mrs Burgess and Mrs Moon who each directly supervised a small group of students. 

Although we didn’t place anywhere, the students had heaps of fun developing their leadership and problem solving skills, as well as learning new aspects of sustainability.

Careers Day

November 19, 2020 Hayley Russell 343

On Wednesday 18 November, Kawarau Whānau hosted our first Year 8 Careers Day.

 

This day saw 30 amazing people from our community come in throughout the day to present to and interact with over 300 students, about their Career Pathways. Students were able to sign up to see seven different presenters throughout the day and we were incredibly lucky to be able to work alongside so many professionals, and learn about different pathways they may take in the future.

A huge thank you to all our wonderful parents and community partners who took time out of their day to work with our students. We are so lucky to have you!

Cultural Day

November 18, 2020 Hayley Russell 395

On Tuesday 17 November, the ESOL students came together as a team to celebrate their own unique cultures and show their teachers and peers just how good they are at English.

 

'Our Culture Day', at Somerville Intermediate, was a colourful blend of global, cultural activities from countries such as Brazil, The Philippines, China, Korea, South Africa, Japan, Colombia and Taiwan. ESOL students at all different levels of English ability proudly taught their peers and the enthusiasm and fervour was catching. Many of the students walked away with warm smiles on their faces after learning how to make Chinese dumplings, Filipino Munchkins and Colombian Arepas. There were joyful yells as some students learnt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu moves and tried these new moves on their friends. And everybody looked colourfully cultured as they walked away from the South African area with beautiful African necklaces they had made for themselves. In amongst this, the cultural extravaganza was brought even closer to home with stunning performances by our talented Kapa Haka group. What a special day!
