Career Day

Over the last wee while we have been looking at the cost of moving out of home, and what sort of income is required to meet daily living expenses. It has been a real eye opener for some students and there may be a few people living at home longer than they thought! The next part of this was to look at career paths. Students have explored a career of interest to them, using the careers NZ website quizzes to help. Today they ran a career day for students from Tawhirimatea. Careers ranged from working at Rebel Sport to marine biologist, pilot to vet. We had authors, architects, rock musicians, you tube bloggers, a Prime Minister, screen printer artists and early childhood teachers. Plus a whole lot more. Personal trainer was a popular exhibit, as was anything that had a hand out. Students who produced pamphlets quickly ran out and the year 6 students asked really great questions.

Are you faster than a 12 year old?

Apparently the Rāwhiti staff team aren't!  - Awesome day of athletics (relay team loss not withstanding).  Some outstanding results across the board,  looks like a strong athletics team going through to zones this year.
