Welcome back team! Term 4 - 2014

We are a group of students who have been selected to be part of the gifted and talented programme here at Pt England School. We are known as the extension groups. There are two groups, year 5 and 6 students and then the year 7 and 8.

Our year 5 and 6 students meet twice a week, 1 and 1/2 hour blocks.

Our year 7 and 8 students meet once a week for a 2 and a 1/2 hour block.

We are focused on extending the learning that happens in our classrooms through

*smaller class setting (max 18 students per group)

*regular experiences with experts (video conferences with experts in various fields, field trips and special visitors to PES)

*opportunities to represent the school as an 'Ambassador' or 'Host' team inside and outside the school. E.g. speak to students and graduates of Universities - visiting educators, part of research, global projects, children's advisory panel for the Auckland Museum etc.
