The year begins

After quick introductions, students in Rata have got straight into the nitty gritty of school work. They have been focussing on two Key competencies - thinking and being a great group member - through brainstorms and hands on technology challenges. One of the challenges required groups to send a message propelled by a balloon along a 7 metre wire. They had 20 minutes to create their design. Some fantastic thinking about being a great group member resulted, even if none of the rocket messengers reached the other side of the room.
