Pi Day 2012



March 8 was Pi Day in the Middle school! 
A few students challenged themselves to recall the digits of Pi. 
The grade 7 winner, Rakia Segev recalled a total of 93 digits. 


Jin Ho Yi was the grade 8 winner recalling 424 digits and Tatiana Gobius was the grade 6 winner recalling 43 digits.  Rakia and Jin Ho will now compete in the HS competition next week against high school and elementary school students!






Homerooms then had fun competing to tear out the biggest perfect circle! The only rule was that you could not fold the paper. Middle school students and teachers are very competitive and homerooms were very creative and devised many different ways to get the perfect circle! In grade 7 the prize was awarded to Ms Lee and Mrs Kask’s homeroom.

Technology page is updated 3/8/2012

Please have a look at the technology page as Rakia Segev has written a blog post on her trip to the fabric stores.
Good job Rakia for being a risk taker!


There is also a picture of Jennifer with her completed block piece, showing she is knowledgeable.


If other students would like to write class posts or homeroom posts for the blog they can submit them to Mrs Pearse through email.

Message from Mr Moimoi to ALL of us...

Each week Mr Moimoi writes to all of the MS teachers to remind us and inspire us about our calling to be 'real' Christian educators in the lives of the MS students.
Today I share his words and those of the Bible with you because I think it is relevant for all of us, no matter what age we are.
As teachers, students, parents or community members, we are called to be Christian "educators" as Mr Moimoi reminds us below...


As we continue serving the Lord in the delivery of Christian education, we need to be Biblical inquirers ourselves if we hope the students to become ones themselves. We can do this by:
  • Having consistent individual Bible reading and prayer times with the Lord
  • Meeting in fellowship regularly to hear God's word 
  • Always communing with God to know His will, being thankful, trusting and asking for His strength
  • Putting into practice what He has told us, as obedience leads to a greater knowledge of God


Middle School INQUIRER Biblical Value: Because we are created in God’s image, we inquire in His world and seek His wisdom in all processes and activities. This is a logical expression of faith.

Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

James 1: 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
