One Heart Day Fundraising Success!

Last Friday some students from Team Awesome held a bake sale, sausage sizzle and a teacher vs student dodgeball match to raise money for Aberdare Ranges Primary School in Kenya. There were many students involved, including the awareness raising group who promoted the event during school assembly the week before. Other students exchanged videos with the kids to learn about the similarities and differences between one another.

It was a hectic lunchtime with lots of Raroa students turning out to support the cause. We raised over $800 for the school which was an amazing effort! Every $5 raised is enough to provide 2 meals a day for a month for one student at the school!!

Term 4 - Lets be engineers!

Welcome back to Term 4. This term our team are becoming engineers. We started by answering questions like: what does an engineer do? What types of engineers are there? What skills does an engineer need to have?

We discovered that there are heaps of different kinds of engineer and that they design, create explore, and innovate.


On Tuesday we had our immersion day in the learning street. We experienced a variety of different topics related to engineering. Here are some pictures of the day.


Learning about the importance of sustainable engineering and making model windmills.
