Virtual reality, worm farms, and 3D printers for new school
Hamilton's newest school has opened. Te Ao Mārama, in Flagstaff, caters for year 1 to 6 pupils.
Those children will have access to worm farms, virtual reality facilities which can take them around the world through Google Earth, and 3D printers - which are soon to be added to the creativity and design space.
"This is day one for everyone," principal Tony Grey said. "Now it's up to us to create the magic."

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
