Welcome to GATE 2012!

We have a busy and exciting year ahead.
The Core Years 3 and 4 classes will begin the year by investigating the topic of "Our Hair," its growth and change, purpose and different forms.
The Core Year 5 group will firstly look at activities to encourage "thinking outside the square." They will then take part in the Transpower Competition, working with an engineer on a project that has yet to be decided. 
The Core Year 6 group will be busy investigating problems set by the NZ Problem Solving Programme. The first topic for the year is "All in a Day's Work," looking at the effects of technology and globalisation. (For more information see fpsnz.co.nz).
The Philosophy groups will continue to discuss big questions, such as friendship and honesty.

We look forward to sharing our ideas with you and reading your feedback.
