Mercury Bay Area School

What a start to Week 2 - a visit from the Westpac Helicopter Team who have been based in Mercury Bay for the summer!
Mr Morgan had the inspiration to bring the crew to school first thing Tuesday morning and give us all a chance to show just
how much we appreciate what they have been doing for our community.
Students from all ages laid on the ground and spelt out THANKS! and then many got the chance to hear from
the crew members themselves.

Special mention must also go to the group of touring motorcylists who turned up on their gleaming machines to add
weight to the 'exclamation mark'. One of their group had received treatment from the Wetpac crew during their stay
in the Bay and they wanted to contribute to the occasion.

As part of the ongoing development of the MBAS website we have added a new section called Team Up.

The new section under the Resources menu provides a link to the Ministry of Education Team Up pages.
Here you can find a range of materials which can help parents, carers and whanau get involved in their
children's education.  Go here to find out suggestions for easy fun activities for all ages, information
about the NZ Curriculum, the NCEA system and pre schoolers. Something for us all.
