November 28, 2025

On Wednesday last week, 104 Year 5-7 students from across the Waimairi-iri Kāhui Ako came to Burnside High School to attend specialist workshops across our faculty areas.

Our amazing specialist staff and several Year 9 and 10 students helped facilitate workshops that were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Workshops included: printmaking, learning a dance routine and theatre sports with the Arts Faculty; creative writing with the English Faculty; product design, game design, metal sculptures and designing your own pizza with the Technology Faculty. New Zealand tourism was discussed with the Social Science Faculty; dissections and chemistry experiments were undertaken with the Science Faculty; Desmos and problem solving with the Maths Faculty and practical activities, including a pool session were enjoyed by all with the PE and Health Faculty.

Thank you to everyone involved in the organisation and to the teaching staff and students involved on what was a remarkable day.
