Happy Throwback Thursday ⏮️ How different were devices back in the 1950s!

In our archives, we discovered a photo from the 1950s showing Mount Roskill Grammar students using typewriters in their classroom. Flash forward to today, computer devices are used to help students learn in the classroom.

Last week, four Year 12 Biology classes went to Tōtara Park over two days to learn about NZ’s native forests and the species that live there.

They were observing stratification patterns (forest layering patterns). During the trip, they walked through Tōtara Park with Auckland Council rangers who provided information about the plants and adaptations.

Students also collected data by performing a transect of the plants (dividing the plants by cutting them) and then plotting their actual data on a tree profile diagram, which serves as a snapshot of the forest layers.

Professor Merata Kawharu of Ngāti Whātua is a renowned researcher on mātauranga, climate change and horticulture and sustainability.

She visited our school and campus on Friday as part of our mara kumara project, as well as our kūmara beds at Mount Roskill Primary School.

In the afternoon, Professor Merata Kawharu led a group of students to Puketāpapa to learn about its history and the kūmara cultivation in Auckland.

As part of the day, Professor Kawharu gifted a whakatauki to the campus which belonged to her father, Sir Hugh Kawharu. This visit from her was an honour to our school and campus.
