Telecom / Spark Community Day @ PES

Telecom now known as Spark visited schools in our community as part of an awesome outreach programme they run. Watch this movie to find out how they carry out this random act of kindness and why. A great big KIA ORA to all the fantastic volunteers of Spark who ventured to GI this day. You make a positive difference in our community. We look forward to seeing you again.

40 years for World Vision...22 years for PES!

This year marks 40 years of the 40 hour famine in NZ for World Vision. For us at Pt England it marks our 22nd years of participating in this event. Our school, whanau and community are very supportive of us and it's looking like we're going to make our goal of raising over $1,000! A special thank you to all our sponsors and the extra support we receive from world vision and their education sector. Looking forward to seeing how our funds support the children of Malawi.

Term 2 - Art Alive!

Term two is upon us already.  Our teachers went all out yet again to have us hooked, engaged and ready to learn all about Art in it's various forms.  Here's a set of highlights to show you some of the fun we had during our immersion assembly.  This takes place on the very first day of term.  We assemble immediately after the first school bell ready to be immersed.

Thanks to all our amazing teachers, we are definitely hooked and loving our learning.

School TV now online

History...
schooltv was born in 2001 because of the popularity of the Pt England School Network News (PENN,) our school wide television broadcast. Mr Burt, the principal of Pt England School, investigated a variety of options for broadcasting the exciting things that were going on at the school, and using community television turned out to be the most efficient and economic method for doing this.

schooltv became that public television programme. Produced by the staff and students of Pt England School, it went to air every Wednesday on Triangle Television and could be viewed across the city of Auckland and, in later years, the whole of New Zealand.

Pt England School funded this entirely and it has been a great way to share our learning with the people in our community.

Today...
And now schooltv has transformed into a web based broadcast; reaching not only our local school community, the city of Auckland, and all of New Zealand, but THE WHOLE WORLD - 24 hours a day, 7 days of the week.

Here's an example of what you will find on our school website, every episode is ready for you to view. Check out our very talented presenters and the fun learning we have going at Pt England School. This part of episode 6, shows our year 5 and 6 students sharing their autobiographies. They worked with Dr Helen Barrett and her daughter Erin on these projects. Thanks again for your help, we loved being taught by you Dr Barrett and Erin.
