Nau mai ki te Whare Aronui o Tiriwa. The Multi Skills Academy welcomes you.
This academy is available to Years 11, 12 and 13 students who wish to learn renovation skills at MHS. The students will have the opportunity to renovate a house on site at MHS, learning the skills required as they go. The skills could include paving, plan reading, painting, landscape skills etc. The students should gain a Site Safe Certificate.
This Academy is over-laid on the school timetable, meaning the students come out of their normal class when the academy is on. Students select five other subjects plus the Multi Skills academy. The academy runs all day one day of the week, (actual day TBC). The students are expected to catch up on the work they miss on the day they are doing Multi Skills.
