Tip-off time! 🏀
Basketball season has officially begun. Our U17 Boys had a solid warmup against Macleans on home court, but faced a tough game this week, going down to Tamaki College.

The MPS Wolves (Class 6/7 mixed) took it to the court at B&T Stadium last week – after a hard-fought game against SwishedOn, they bounced back strong this week with a win over the Pythons.

Shoutout to our High School Junior Girls who made a strong season debut, taking the win against Baradene College.

A great start to the season, fierce energy, and plenty more to come.
Let’s go MPS! 💪

Level 2 Chemistry in Action!

Many harmful chemical compounds find their way into environmental waterways. Class 11 students conducted testing on water samples, identifying harmful chemical compounds by detecting both cations and anions (positively and negatively charged ions). They researched the impact these pollutants can have on ecosystems and human health.

It’s science with purpose—empowering students to understand and protect the world around them.

Look who’s on TV!
Class 4 had an exciting opportunity to appear on the Three TV show 7DAYS, which aired tonight! It was a fun and memorable experience being part of the action and seeing how a TV show is made.

If you missed it, you can catch the episode on Three+1 at 8:30pm tonight, or stream it anytime on the ThreeNow app. (M – suitable for mature audiences 16 years of age and over.)

Please note: While our tamariki appear briefly during a game segment, the show includes adult themes in the comedians’ discussions. We recommend that parents watch first and use their discretion around which parts to share with their children.

Class 3’s Journey Through Time

Our tamariki in Class 3 have just completed their Time and Seasons Main Lesson — a hands-on exploration of how humans have marked time through the ages. From watching the sun and moon, to learning the days and months in English, Te Reo Māori, and German (with dancing and clapping along the way!), they brought time to life.
They traced their shadows, crafted sundials, experimented with ancient candle and water clocks, and even built their own wooden clocks in the Outdoor Classroom — shaping both short and long hands themselves.
This rich, creative journey unfolded deep understanding, while naturally weaving in literacy and maths skills.

Ko te wā – he taonga!
Time is a treasure.

To celebrate Easter, our high school students brought joy and wonder to the younger tamariki by organising a beautiful Easter hunt.

Wrapped in colourful tissue, each hidden “egg” held a special surprise – a flower bulb, lovingly prepared as a gift for Classes 1-7. 🌷

After the excitement of the hunt, the lower school students planted their treasures around the school grounds. We look forward to seeing the fruits of their mahi bloom next spring – a living reminder of generosity, connection, and the cycle of the seasons.🌱☀️

As part of the History and Art of Writing Main Lesson, Class 5 students made quills 🪶✒️. These primary writing tools, used during the medieval era, are still in use today by professional scribes, calligraphers, avid collectors, and those interested in historical writing.

Through hands-on experiences in the outdoor classroom program, Steiner believed that children learn best through concrete, sensory experiences – reflected in the careful cutting and shaping of feathers. This activity also connects them to the natural world, enhances fine motor skills, and fosters an appreciation for traditional craftsmanship.
