The recent Year 8 camp on Motutapu Island was an incredible week for the 178 Rosmini students, 21 parents, and 10 teachers, who achieved their goal of growth through personal challenges, teamwork, and the guiding principles of faith and values.
Students embraced a packed schedule of 12 activities, two tramps, and night games, alongside the unique experience of sleeping in army barracks. Highlights included high ropes, kiwi spotting, snorkelling, archery, and the "exceptional" meals!
Silver for Rosmini at Sustainability Challenge Race
Four Year 7 and 8 eco-warriors from Rosmini College secured second place at the Sustainability Challenge Race at Auckland Botanic Gardens on June 13. This marked their debut in the two-hour event, which combines running, navigation, and sustainability-focused activities.
The team's strategy of prioritising navigation and checkpoints over initial activities helped them excel, even in challenging weather. They also impressed facilitators with their extensive knowledge during sustainability challenges, which included identifying native bird calls and pest control methods. The Rosmini team is now aiming for a first-place finish in the two upcoming Sustainability Challenges later this year.
Meanwhile, the Rosmini Envirogroup is also working hard to rid the school of pest plant species such as moth plant, pampas grass, and invasive lilies.
Rosmini hosts MUNA 2025
For the second year in a row, the Rotary-organised Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) was held in Rosmini College’s Tindall Auditorium. Over 300 students from schools ranging from Northland to South Auckland represented over 100 countries at a mock UN general assembly.
Eleven senior Rosmini students represented countries from across the world – Mongolia, Serbia, and Panama – each with unique political, geographical, social, and historical backgrounds. This year’s remits revolved around access to the internet, exploitative trade, AI weapons, and climate equity, and the teams spoke very well, reflective of their respective countries’ views.
