Who are we? #1

Bayfield

Sporty, environmental, crafty and fun Bayfield does it all. Bayfield is different to other school we have MLE (modern learning environment) classrooms, no school uniforms and we call our teachers by their first names. Our school is located in Herne Bay Auckland the biggest city of New Zealand. Being close to the centre of the city, we can go and compete at intercity for sporting events.

Kate Shepard, Edmund Hillary, Ernest Rutherford and finally Kupe, these are our school houses that we got put in for sporting events. Some other events we do every second year like the production (a performance with acting and dancing), the art gallery and business day. Our many coir performances we top including the APPA, Kids for Kids, in our beat, etc. etc. etc.

Luckily we have some amazing teachers who don’t all ways teach the same class with our MLE classrooms we get different teachers for every subject. We have a brilliant music teacher, Mary, who teachers every class for music as well as taking APPA coir, ukubayleys (ukulele group) and Kapa Haka those are some important parts of our school. Donna is our all-round multi-talented teacher, she is our librarian and also teacher’s basketball.

Bayfield also has some art around the school like our bird mosaic, made in 2011 and every Bayfield child drew a bird that is now on our Bayfield mosaic that represents our school. So this Bayfield School we hope you enjoyed reading about us.
