You may have seen a giant whale tail in Howick. This is part of an Art Trail set up across Auckland by the World Wildlife Fund to raise awareness of the Bryde's Whale.

A pod of pēpi tails (baby tails) are displayed around Auckland.

Below is our tail, entitled "Moana Ataahua" or Beautiful Ocean and tells the story of protecting our oceans for generations to come.

Ka mau te wehi Emily , Delany and Derryn. It looks amazing!

Our tail can be viewed at Uxbridge Art Centre.

In Sports Science students will study how the healthy human body works, and how sport and physical activity promote health and performance from cellular to whole body perspectives. 

Students will also learn about the basis of biomechanics, of how forces generated within the body, or how forces applied to the body, influence the way that we move. 

The lessons then transition into Media, with an emphasis on the use of iMovie.

Mrs. Sutton our librarian has new workstations and teachers have a space for planning. 

His race consisted of 3 laps cross-country with a challenging technical and uphill course. All his hard work and dedication paid off by walking away with the Under 15 National Champion title. Well done Alex !

This was led by Miss Clarke with support from Miss Wiltenburg. The performance encapsulated the theme of internal battles that teens face. "To the world, people show one thing but feel another inside of themselves.  In this day and age, people think it’s alright to put each other down and claim it as a ‘joke.’ We do not realise how much it affects others and their wellbeing and the pressure people feel to fit in. Instead, we need to be kind and help each other to rise up so we all can feel valued and have an equal place in society." 

All the students performed beautifully and made our school so proud. A special mention goes to Amelia I. who was the lead dancer in our performance. She also won the award for Outstanding Rangatahi (Star of the Show).

As a school Howick Intermediate was awarded for 'The Best Use of Drama' and placed overall Second for the Intermediate Schools at the Auckland Show. 

The Whanau was split into two groups. The first group went on a scavenger hunt to find plants and statues around the gardens.

The second group went off with the lovely people that work at the Botanical Gardens and they explained to them how the ecosystem works and how every little bug and plant is a major part of our ecosystem.

The students were able to plant seedlings in the gardens and make potions for them. They watered their plants hoping they would grow to be big and beautiful.

This trip was an amazing learning experience for Hobson.

A big thank you to the teachers and parents that made this experience possible.

They had a mix of skills in the team, ranging from boys who hadn't played field hockey before, to Auckland players. The team played against 6 other schools, giving each game their all! It was great to see all the boys pull together!
