Netball fever

Its that time of year again...Winter? No netball. Our senior school are preparing three teams to enter the Tamaki Zone netball tournament which will be held on the 4th of June 2014. The competition will be tough and we are training very hard. Some of our players have played netball before and some are beginners but we will make sure we are all ready by tournament day.

Thank you to our coaches who are supporting us by training us and organising our teams. 
Mrs Tofa - Year 7 & 8
Miss Maruariki -Year 6
Mrs Furivai and Miss Atuahiva - Year 5

All teams are mixed with boys and girls. 

All the best everyone!

Orienteering

Wednesday 14 May was when we walked down to Pt Englard Reserve to take part in the Tamaki inter-school orienteering competition. We had a team of 20 students. We left our school by foot at 9.15 am hoping to arrive at the venue before 10 am. We arrived at exactly 10 am and quickly settled into our year levels. 

The competition was well set out. We saw some markers on our way to the park and had a fair idea of how far we had to run. Each year level started at different times and very member of each team had a different course to run. 

Our team did very well. All members finished at different times and all had fun running the course. Some members of our team ran together because they had the same course. The rain did not stop the event and all students seemed to enjoy running in the rain. 

At the end of the event, the rain was heavier and the wind was very strong. Luckily for us Pt England school offered to transport us by their school van. An offer we gladly accepted. 

We had fun representing our school and congratulations to all participants of the day.
