Year 6 E.O.T.C. Experience!
Kia ora Readers!
What a week it has been. After nearly 3 years our Year 6’s finally get a camp experience. This year we decided to go to M.E.R.C. in Long Bay; a new location that New Windsor has not gone to before.
Our seniors spent their afternoons before camp in their camp groups practicing a skit item to perform in front of each other.
Monday morning:
7.30 we met up and loaded all our luggage onto the coaches for a 8am departure from school. Traffic wasn’t too bad and we managed to get to M.E.R.C. just on 9am. Our students met with their instructors and went straight to their activities.
We had Deep Sea Survival (not as scary as it sounds), Surfing, Bush Survival, Giants Ladder, and Abseiling. Safe to say the students were shattered by the end of day one.
Tuesday:
After a night on some very wobbly and loud bunkbeds our students got to their second day of activities, with the addition of Kayaking and Archery . Tuesday night was our concert where the groups performed their item to much amusement from the parents.
Wednesday:
Our final day at M.E.R.C. The groups did their final activities and then came together for a walk along the rocky shore where they got to look at rock pools and all the little critters that live there. We gathered one last time for a group photo and then loaded back onto the buses for a very quiet ride back.
Thank you to all our whanau that came with us on the trip and supported us with fundraising throughout Term 3. This would not have been possible without you!

Room 23 Resilience – Don’t Give It Up
During Term 3 Room 23 worked hard on creating a dance based around our school’s value of Resilience.
Everyone played a part in creating this movie. Some were tasked with creating the dance and performing the dance. Whilst others came up with interview questions and others most took part as cameramen.
Finally everyone in our class created their own movie from all the footage that was gathered.
Enjoy our efforts…
Room 24’s Film Festival
Kia ora koutou Readers,
During Term 3, Room 24 (and most of New Windsor School to be fair) participated in the Ako Hiko Film Festival. Room 24 decided to either work in groups, pairs, or independently on a film of their choosing. Room 24 planned, shot, and edited their films without help from Mr Jones to show resilience, which is the focus for Term 3 at New Windsor School. Week 9 came around and we were able to make several films of different genres and types.
Check out the awesome work below:
Room 11 and Room 3’s Film festival.
Room 11 and Room 3 spent 4 weeks working on their Film Festival. They came up with a story, wrote their own script, discussed their props and locations and then practiced their parts. After working days and days together they filmed their act and put them together as a movie. Here are some movies for you to watch.
