🌟 “For never was a story of more woe…” 🎭

Class 10 wowed us with their breathtaking production of Romeo & Juliet – from the magnificent set design to the exquisitely curated costumes. With powerful performances from the actors, a brilliant chorus, and seamless sound and lighting, we were truly transported to Verona. 🗡💔✨

Audiences were treated to not one, but two casts across two nights – each bringing their own unique magic to the stage. The story was familiar, but the experience was ever-changing. 🎭💫

An unforgettable way to close out the term – ka rawe, Class 10! 👏🎬

✨ PJ Day = Pure Joy! ✨
Today our kura was a sea of flannel, fleece and fun as students and staff came to school in their cosiest pajamas — all for a good cause.

Our amazing Gift of Hope charity team, along with Class 11, hosted a delicious “midnight feast” style morning tea, raising funds for Kidz First Hospital at Middlemore. With winter hitting hard, they also collected brand new PJs for children in need — and our generous community truly delivered. Ngā mihi nui to everyone who donated!

Students also had the chance to sign up for the World Vision 40-Hour Challenge, supporting families in the Solomon Islands. 💛🌏

Helping others, sharing warmth, and having a whole lot of fun along the way — that’s the MPS way.

As our Class 7 students cross the threshold into adolescence, we challenge them to carve a mould in sandstone – a void that will be filled with molten metal, replacing the empty space. Casting metals is a symbolic gesture of their departure from childhood, as they carve away what is no longer needed and fill it with the reality they envision.

The first attempt at handling the gas burner is always daunting, but soon, handling the molten metal gives them a deep sense of accomplishment. The final stage requires determination – to file, sand, and polish their piece to the highest possible standard – in pursuit of their best self. ⛏️🔥🪨

✨ SCIENCE IN ACTION! ✨

Class 12 explored the mysteries of matter during their Nature of the Universe Main Lesson, with a day of dry ice experiments.

Did you know that metal ‘screams’ when touched with dry ice? 😱 Our senior scientists created mega fog in a kettle, flash-froze leaves until they snapped, launched bung guns and film canister rockets, and conjured up super bubbles in a beaker.

Hands-on, minds-on, and full of wonder — this is science at Michael Park School. 🌬️🌿💥

🎻✨ We’re incredibly proud of Class 11 student Violet Theodore, whose musical talent continues to shine! Violet is now in her third year of scholarships with the Manukau Symphony Orchestra and has won multiple first places at Auckland Performing Arts Competitions. Ka rawe, Violet!

🎵 At Michael Park School, music is woven through the fabric of our learning. From Class 1 to Class 12, students engage with music through singing, instruments, and regular performance opportunities. Concerts are held every term, and our rich programme is supported by itinerant teachers offering private and ensemble lessons in a wide range of instruments.

Our students don’t just learn music — they live it. 🎶
