Epsom Girls’ Grammar school is situated at the base of Maungawhau and we start by looking at its legends and history.
The theme for the term is based on elements of the students Pepeha, particularly a Maunga or Mountain they may affiliate or identify with.
We will also be looking at some International, Aotearoa and traditional landscape artists for inspiration.
