Year 4 Hauraki Gulf Trip
This week, Year 4 have ventured into the Hauraki Gulf as part of their Marine Inquiry. They have been learning about the biodiversity of living things and how they play a part within our Marine Ecosystem.
Each class has been fortunate to explore the Hauraki Gulf with John Charteris - a Natural Science advisor who has worked with our school for several years. We are very lucky to have his expertise for this trip. Thank you to the parents who offered their help with this trip
Zone Touch Rugby
Earlier in the week, 40 Year 5 and 6 students headed to Carlton Rugby Club for the Zone Touch Rugby Tournament. Our students displayed great enthusiasm and sportsmanship on the day.
Congratulations to the Girls A Team who placed third in the tournament, and to all our students who participated.
Our thanks to Karen Moore and Dom Reed who worked behind the scenes with the trials, coaching and organisation on the day, and of course to our parent volunteers and supporters who attended.

Did you know the MENPS students use Sports Gear from the Yummy Apples collection everyday? The Yummy Apples Sports gear is used in PE lessons and can be picked up by students from the PE Shed during lunch times! Collect stickers from Yummy Apples and stick them to the Yummy Apple collection sheets or cut out labels (or bar codes) from Yummy Apple bags and glue them on a blank sheet of paper. Completed sheets can be dropped back to your class teacher or the office at any time.Thank you for collecting MENPS!
