Our students have a range of activities that they are able to complete including Robotics, Cooking and Woodwork. The fourth technology is Sewing which our students are enjoying very much.

DPE with Opunake High School Students

On Friday at Auroa Primary School we had a special set of guests who helped with the DPE (Technology) program for our Y7/8 students.  We had some former students of Auroa Primary School return and take a cooking lesson as part of their High School curriculum program.    Tiani and Ella from Room Three recorded this footage of the event.

We are very fortunate to have an amazing resource at our school which is new this year - the kitchen. Thanks to the PTA and BOT of Auroa Primary School we have a fully operational kitchen on site which is used by not just the seniors but is also able to be used by other classrooms of students in our school. This is the video that was created by Ella from Room Three

DPE - Food Technology

At Auroa Primary School the School has in the past two years taken responsibility for its own Technology program. This year we are very excited with the opening of the School Kitchen in what was the old library/room five. Having such a great set up is awesome for our senior students for DPE but also for our entire school who are able to use the facilities when the Technology is not on. This video was created, filmed, edited and published by students in Room Three on Friday 1st April 2016.
