Kapa Haka

Every Friday the senior school works with the wonderful students from Waikowhai Intermediate School. The older students pass on their knowledge and support  to Hay Park School students in learning the Kapa Haka. It is great to be part of this experience and the students really enjoy learning something new.

A big THANK YOU to Roz Tuitama a teacher and Whaea Vicki  a parent from Waikowhai Intermediate School who help support the learning on the Kapa Haka.

Working With Hillsborough Kindergarten

Each Wednesday the Deputy Principal, Amanda Galloway, visits Hillsborough Kindergarten to work with students on early Literacy and Numeracy skills to help prepare them for starting school. This helps support the very successful transition programme for students into Hay Park School and helps students get off to a great start with their learning.

Ako Hiko Cluster Launch

This week 5 students went to talk to business men and women to promote their learning through the use of digital devices and help launch the Ako Hiko cluster to help raise funds to support the cluster of schools. 

They had an amazing time and loved talking and meeting all of the business people. They were able to make conversation, ask questions to find out information and answer questions about their learning and the Chromebooks. They were awesome and great Smoooozing.   

SNAG Golf

The first half of this Term our children are taking part in SNAG Golf in school. SNAG golf stands for Starting new at Golf.

The children are learning lots of new skills and really enjoy the challenge.

T-Ball Practice

We are really lucky at Hay Park School to have Russell supporting the students with getting a T-Ball team together to compete in the Eden Roskill competition every Saturday.

A huge THANK YOU to Russell for volunteering to train the team every Thursday lunch time. We have our fingers crossed that the team will do well and WIN!

Please feel free to come along and support and cheer the team at 41 Gifford Av. 

Library Time with Hillsborough Kindergarten

We love to work with our little friends next door from Hillsborough Kindergarten. On Thursday 23rd October Hillsborough Kindergarten walked across to join us  in our new Library with Room 1 students.  Everyone got to hear the story called the 'Scary Bear' and then everyone shared a book with a friend. We all learnt about how to look for a book to read and how to place the book back on the shelf. 

We look forward to seeing the Hillsborough Kindergarten every Thursday, to share a special time together. :-)
