Pillans Point School International Students

To support our Visual Arts learning this term, our Year 3 and 4 students visited the Tauranga Art Gallery and Library. They explored the exhibitions, discovered new artists and ideas, and gathered inspiration for their own creative learning.

Last Monday we welcomed i+1 Study Tours and 14 Chinese students. They have spent the week being a part of our learning programmes and exploring our local surroundings. This evening they meet their homestay families for the coming week. A huge thanks to those families who are opening up their homes to them😊

Our Kea and Kiwi students wrote invitations for a friend to join them for a tea party today after reading, writing and talking about ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ this week! What a treat! 💛

We ended the week making crowns for some of our smartest little giants in town! We loved exploring 'The Smartest Giant in Town' by Julia Donaldson this week in our ESOL lessons.

This week our Moa students discovered the true story of Wildboy: The Boy Who Walked Around New Zealand by Brando Yelavich. What an adventurer! His journey around New Zealand inspired us with its courage, determination, and resilience.

We are loving having the Science Roadshow at our school!

A very big welcome to these students. We are very excited to welcome you to Pillans Point School.

During Cultural Week at Pillans Point School, our International Students shared their culture and taught us all about South Korea. We learnt about Korean food, celebrations, and school life, played traditional games, wrote in Hangul, and made beautiful buchae (Korean fans). We are all very proud of you!
