Heads Up

With the new year now underway, we take a look at the what’s new for term one and beyond.

Coming up in term one: Bring the past to life with Minecraft to win with New Era and Microsoft New Student Competition!

We asked to you create your vision of the future. Now it’s time to grab that picaxe and dive into the past!

Get ready for a new competition coming up from Microsoft and New Era this term! It’s time to bring the past to life with Minecraft. We want your students to take us on an adventure into the history of New Zealand using blocks to tell the story. Students can enter together or individually to win. There will be prizes, including Microsoft and Minecraft gear and an awesome experience for the winning entry. We’ll be in touch with more details soon. It’s going to be a blast!

New Era was tasked with the technology infrastructure build for two new schools as a result of successful tenders in 2016. Opening in 2017, Rolleston College and Ormiston Junior High School are the first new school builds that New Era has undertaken and were both exciting projects for the team. We wish both school communities every success as they embark on an exciting new journey.
