Y9/10 Induction/ Transition Programme




Mufti Day on Friday


This week we are holding a mufti day to raise money and grocery items for two really good causes both locally and nationally. We will be donating the grocery hamper to a family in our school who has recently lost someone close and the money we raise will be donated to the people affected by the Christchurch earthquake. We would also like to write letters to children in Christchurch that have been affected and let them know that our thoughts are with them.

Finding out about the Christchurch Earthquake

This week we have been following the reports about the earthquake that affected Christchurch on Saturday. Many people have been effected and may not be able to return to their homes for weeks or even months. It is a miracle that nobody was seriously injured or killed in the incident.

Use the internet (the NZ Herald website is great for information) to find out more about the quake and the effects it has had on people. Try to answer these questions:

Who did it affect?
What happened?
When did it happen?
Where was most effected?
Why did it happen?
How will the damage be fixed?
