A self motivated opportunity for year 9 and 10 students interested in Engineering. 

We’re excited to share opportunities from the Women in Engineering Network (WEN) about their outreach workshops which are fantastic way for junior students to build strong social connections while exploring engineering in a fun, supportive, and creative environment.
The network is led by current women in engineering student volunteers (WEN Leaders) and seeks to build connections between women interested in, studying and practicing engineering.

 

Join the Women in Engineering Network Outreach team for a fun, hands-on STEM workshop. 

Come along to design and laser cut your own acrylic nightstand! Hear from current engineering students and create something inspirational to take home!

Event details:

  Date: Tuesday 1st September

  Time: 3:30 PM – 6:00 PM (Safety Briefing will begin at 4PM so come straight from school!)

  Location: : UoA Engineering Building, Meet at Room 405-328 (Level 3)

Free snacks, and refreshments will be provided!    

Limited spots available, so register now!

Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Please be advised that Brother Wahid, our School Groundskeeper is away until Monday next week which means the school gates and school grounds will not open until 8:00am or when the earliest teacher arrives.

We kindly ask parents and caregivers to please take note of the 8:00am opening time and make the necessary arrangements for their daughters.

Students who arrive before 8:00am are asked to wait in the designated shelter area until the gates open. 

JazakAllahu Khairan for your understanding and cooperation.

This is a reminder that our planned Lockdown Drill will commence in approximately 15 minutes, at 11:15 am today.

As advised previously, this is a scheduled practice drill to help ensure our students and staff are prepared to respond safely in the event of an emergency.

We ask that you do not come to the school or call the school during the drill. We appreciate your understanding and support while the drill is being carried out.

Kia ora Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

Auckland Transport (AT) is inviting community feedback on its proposed Westney Road Pedestrian Safety Improvements.

The proposed changes are intended to improve pedestrian safety along Westney Road. As members of our school community who use this area every day, your feedback is valuable and can help ensure the needs of all road users are considered.

We encourage you to review the attached proposal and share your thoughts directly with Auckland Transport.

When providing feedback, you may wish to consider:

• The safety of students and whanau travelling to and from Zayed College for Girls.
• The visibility of Zayed College for Girls to motorists, particularly for traffic approaching from Verissimo Drive.
• Whether the proposed school signage and safety measures adequately recognise that there are two schools operating in close proximity.
• Any additional improvements that could further enhance pedestrian safety in the area.

Please send your feedback directly to ATEngagement@at.govt.nz.

For more information about the project, please visit: https://at.govt.nz/projects-and-initiatives/westney-road-pedestrian-safety-improvements

Thank you for taking the time to have your say.

Community feedback plays an important role in helping shape safer roads for everyone.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
