Enterprise ACE - Making mixed berry jam from scratch was a hands-on experience that brings simple ingredients to life. Students explored how a blend of fresh berries, sugar, and a little heat transform into a sweet, spreadable treat. They learned to prepare fruit, measure ingredients, and observe changes as the mixture bubbles and thickens. Along the way, they practise patience, teamwork, and kitchen safety, while discovering the science behind cooking.
MHP participated Pink Shirt Day today.

Year 6 had an exciting and educational trip to MOTAT, where students explored New Zealand’s transport, technology, and innovation history through hands-on exhibits and interactive activities.

Year 1 Breakfast: What an amazing learning opportunity for our young tamariki! During this experience, our Year 1 students are developing important independent life skills through their morning routines. They are learning to make simple choices, manage their food, and clean up after themselves. As they practise brushing their teeth, students are building healthy hygiene habits and taking responsibility for their personal care.
Through fitness and changing activities, children are encouraged to organise their belongings, dress themselves, and transition confidently between tasks. These everyday routines support the development of independence, confidence, and self-management skills.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all our wonderful parents helpers for taking the time to support us with this event.
