Announcement :

Kia ora MBS Parents/Caregivers and Whaanau We are writing to provide an important update regarding the MOSA Inter-School Cross Country Zones and Athletics Zones. Regrettably, we must inform you that both these events will not be going ahead this year and are cancelled due to factors beyond our control. We acknowledge that the dates were listed on our school calendar however the leadership team have only been officially notified of this outcome at the end of last week following the MOSA meeting. We sincerely apologise for the late notice and for any frustration or disappointment this news may cause. We understand how much this event means to our tamariki, particularly those who trained diligently and placed in our school cross country finals. It is deeply disappointing that our qualifiers will not have the opportunity to represent Maangere Bridge School at the zone level this year. Please be assured we will still be formally recognising and celebrating all students who participated and placed in our school cross country and Athletics finals. Their hard work, determination, and achievements deserve to be honored. Thank you very much for your patience, ongoing support, and understanding at this time. Ngaa mihi nui, Bernice Mata’utiaTumuaki – PrincipalMāngere Bridge School

Our Sustainability Team

Our Sustainability Leader Whaea Hala has a team of students called the ‘Kaitiaki Warriors’ who participate in a range of learning that includes planting and growing a variety of seedlings/seed in our garden beds, using food scraps as part of our wastewise programme.

Our students have been involved in Sustainable Projects which includes taking part in community initiatives and projects such as Innovation and Waste Minimisation.

Our partnership other stakeholders such as ‘Oke Charity Trust’ work alongside schools to provide Kiwi kids the opportunity to learn life and social skills by introducing sustainable ‘outdoor classrooms’. They were able to provide a range of garden tools, seedlings, a tunnel house and a garden shed to help our school get started and it was great to have whaanau supporting our working bees as part of our Kotahitanga and Kaitiakitanga.

Whaea Hala also shares on our paanui/newsletter the Sustainable Notices to encourage and empower our tamariki to have an interest in outdoor experiences where you learn social and garden skills.
