Toolkits 2020!

This year the Ako Hiko Toolkits Conference was a little different... And when we say a little we mean a lot!


This time round, EVERYBODY got to attend the first ever online Toolkits conference!  It was definitely an experience for the books.  Sessions spanned the whole day and we got to interact and learn things from our own school peers as well as our Ako Hiko peers.


From 'Tinkercad' to 'Incredibox' the sessions were amazing and we gotta give it to the amazing presenters who led their toolkits as best as they could. They were very informative and even with a few hiccups here and there, they managed to keep calm and carry on, ka pai tō mahi!  

Hopefully we can do it this way again so that we all get to experience the learning that takes place in our annual Ako Hiko Toolkits!


By the end of it, we were full of knowledge and a bit tired.  It was still verrrry busy nearing the end and Team 14 got a little frustrated in the waiting room for the last meet.. We waited to no avail. Hopefully we didn't miss much!! Technical difficulties hey!

Year 6 Reflection 2019

As the 2019 school year comes to a close, we remember the journey our Year 6s have embarked on over the years here at May Road School. We hope you take everything you've learnt with you on the next part of your learning journey! Thank you for setting the bar high for the future Year 6 cohorts!


They are going to have a heck of a time at their Y6 sleepover & JUMP! trip the next day!

Check out the montage of our awesome 2019 Year 6 graduates, compiled by Ms Tokuma.


As many have said before, it's not a goodbye, but a see you later.
Once May Road, ALWAYS May Road.

All the best!

This year May Road School went all out to celebrate Uike Katonga'i 'o e Lea Fakatonga.  We had a special display of traditional Tongan items called 'Koloa Fakatonga'.  Rosser House was adorned with Tongan decor and cultural items, resembling a fale like those in Tonga!

We also got to host classes to experience a 'Taste Of Tonga', the foods were simply delectable!


At the end of the incredible week, we held a special assembly with song and dance.  It was truly an amazing experience and lots of hard work! Check out the performances below!
