Welcome to 2016

Welcome to 2016 at Marina View School. 

During the holidays I was fortunate to spend some time on the Coromandel Peninsula. Having time to relax at a beach and enjoy native birds interacting in the bush reminded me just how lucky we are in this beautiful country of ours.

Welcome back everyone and a warm welcome to new families and students to Marina View. It is great to have you as part of our community.

We are planning a year full of challenge, growth and enjoyment for our students.

During the first term learning is focused around the concept of Hauora / Wellbeing. Our students will be investigating ways to promote healthy living, successful learning and positive communities.


The five ways to wellbeing: connect, give, take notice, keep learning and be active.



Later in the term a number of classes will be involved in Camps and Activity weeks, where they will undertake a range or personal challenges and further develop their skills of team work . It will be a great experience for them and something they will remember for a long time.
