Welcome to Year 7 to 8 Whānau! We are the senior team at Ōrākei School.
Our Teachers
Kaupapa | Lines of Inquiry
Carbon cycle
We will be working with GNS Science - Te Pū Ao next Term. We will participate in an initiative to measure and monitor the carbon levels and emissions around our school. We have set up a Carbon measuring device that has been taking measurements for the last few weeks and it will continue to do so over the holidays and into next term. This information will be used to help us understand the impact we have on our local environment and how we can make positive shifts to lower the emission levels around our school.
Pāngarau | Maths
