Ngatea Primary School held its eighth Learning in the Making conference on July 1-2.
Deputy principal Melissa Taaffe said the conference was the brainchild of their school principal Neil Fraser.
“Our Learning in the Making conference is an opportunity for students to take part in a conference where they get to book themselves into eight workshops over the two days using an online platform.”
There were junior workshops for year 0-4 students, and senior workshops for year 5-8 students, Melissa said – with workshops run by staff, year 7-8 students and parents and grandparents.
“This event was a monumental endeavour, having organised an impressive array of 226 workshops over the course of the two days,” she said.
“There were a wide variety of workshops on offer ranging from building birdhouses and rat traps to flower arranging, hair braiding, go-karting, rugby league skills, pizza making, science experiments, candle making, crocheting, plus loads more.”
