| Mahi Challenge is home learning at its best. At Whitiora School we expect all children to read each night ; ….. and that all children will participate in the MAHI Challenges for Years 1—8. This expectation was formed after research, feedback from families, and consideration of all important factors in a child’s life, to ensure that we encourage life-long learning capabilities in our children. It is also an opportunity for students and families to participate in learning together. The Whitiora MAHI Challenge: -
Students should keep a MAHI portfolio for recording their work each year and a digital badge is added to the students digital profile after completing two challenges in a category. At the end of each year, students who have completed all 10 challenges for that year are presented with an award. At the end of Year 8, students having completed a MAHI Challenge in each year of their eight years at Whitiora School will receive a carved Pounamu. |
