Pro8 Challenge

06 September 2018 On Thursday Ryley Swatton from #Whakapono21 was fortunate enough to be chosen to represent Rowandale School in the Pro8 Challenge. The challenge is a fun way to introduce children to different engineering and science principles. The children have tasks to do with varying difficulties that will help them to grow their knowledge in science and electronics. What a great effort by Solomon Isitolo, Agins Som, Ngaau Hurrell and of course Ryley Swatton. Our school team was awesome enough to come 4th! Here are a few photos of our children having the time of their life being innovative learners. Hmmm, I wonder what I should use?

A big thank you to all those "behind the scenes" people that made this week possible! One of the shining gemstones of Rowandale School is how we embrace cultural diversity.
