Last Friday, thirteen students, accompanied by science teachers Mrs Nisha and Mr Frank, attended the 2019 NIWA Auckland Science Fair, held at Mount Roskill Grammar School. The students had worked either individually or in pairs to perform a science fair project and display their experiments and findings on a board for the fair. Projects from 29 different schools crowded the hall at Mount Roskill Grammar School and the vast range of experiments and the detailed knowledge displayed was astounding. It was open to public viewing on Friday evening and Saturday and drew a lot of fascinated supporters, enjoying the creative display boards and getting fascinated by the results of hours and hours of work from hundreds of students. Projects were entered into specific categories - such as material world, living world, technology - and within each category were prizes for first, second and third as well as highly commended.

French Exchange 2019

By Anonymous -
On the morning of Saturday 15th June, more than 20 anxious MAGS students rolled up at Auckland International Airport to meet their French exchange students for the first time.

MAGS students took their kids on road trips throughout the country, visiting places such as Taupo, ...

Sustainability. Environmental awareness. Some people would call these fads, but climate change is not going to be short lived. Unless we take action. Nowadays there is lots of talk about how to save our earth. Friends talk about it, family talks about it, people post about it on social media. ‘I spent the weekend doing volunteer tree planting’, ‘I joined a stream clean up’, ‘I’m going vegan, long term’, ‘I donated to a wildlife rescue organisation’. It’s easy to feel guilty that you aren’t doing all of these things too, but the reality is they involve time, money, effort and organisational skills. Don’t worry! You don’t have to be extreme. As an individual there are innumerable ways that you can play your part in being sustainable and preventing damage to the earth. And they don’t have to be expensive or grand, just simple changes that will reduce your carbon footprint and help you have a positive effect on the world. So many products include plastic these days.
