= Tihirau 2014 = Welcome to our Tihirau homepage. We have two Year 7 & 8 classes in our senior syndicate, Ian Bird is the teacher in Room 16 and Wendy Rudolph, the teacher in Room 17.

We have high expectations of our Year 7 & 8 students and look forward to seeing them take leadership roles around the school. We aim to offer our students lots of opportunities to try new things. Students can take part in a variety of sporting events and field trips.

** Term 3 **
This term we welcome Sonya Struginski to Room 17. Sonya is a student teacher from Auckland University who will be taking over the teaching in Room 17 for the next 4 weeks. This term we will continue to focus on Ancient Civilizations, this has been a topic our students have all enjoyed and that should give us a greater understanding of a range of cultures. We begin the term looking at Native American Indians. We will also be following the Commonwealth Games over the next few weeks. We have only a few more weeks of winter sports, please ensure that any outstanding fees are paid as soon as possible. We will be focussing on cross country training over the 4 weeks, culminating in our school cross country event. We continue hip hop lessons this term with an AIMs Games team being selected over the next few weeks. Students will also have an opportunity to take part in music lessons with our new specialist teacher. Kapa Haka will also continue this term.

Ian Bird & Wendy Rudolph
