Senior Show

The senior show was really cool. It was scary before we went on stage. Everybody loved it and is still talking about it. We has lots of practices. We had dress rehearsals and rehearsals with lights. We practised with props. The best part was hair and make up.

TRISERIES

On the 5th of December some of our year 7’s and 8’s went to Pukeatua to play waterpolo and try to win the tri-series trophy. There were two other teams and they were from Pukeatua school and St Mary’s school. Waterpolo was the last game of the year and we had a good chance of winning. In one game we faced Pukeatua, we came a tie. We played St Mary’s and we won. This meant we won the triseries!!!

Cross country

On Wednesday the 10th of September 5 students from the year 7 and 8 went to the interschool cross country that was held at pirate stadium in Hamilton. They did very well because most of them got into the top 50 out of 100. Robyn got 5th place, Jonathan got 34th, Hannah go 31st, Jessica got 53rd, and Cody got 63rd place. The feedback they gave was that it was very muddy and slippery. There were not many hills and they were not very steep. The course wasn’t as big and hard as they had expected. They had to run in hail and big showers. But it was worth it.

Speeches again

On Wednesday the 10th of September at St Patricks hall in Putaruru, the lion’s speech finals were held. The contest started at 6:30 and ended at about 9:30. There were about 13 contestants including the intermediate section. Megan Hemming, Blayne Hughes and Chloe Belfield participated in this event.
First everyone said their prepared speech and then later on came the impromptu speeches. I enjoyed the prepared speeches the most because I got to hear all of them. The impromptu speech was the hardest because you only get about ten seconds to prepare for that speech. The contestants were given a topic and had to talk for only one minute. It was a great experience to be able to participate in the contest. I was really nervous but as I said my speech it felt just like I was doing it in front of the school again. Blayne competed in the intermediate section (the year 7 and 8’s) and Megan and Chloe competed in the primary section (year 5 and 6’s).
The competition went well for Blayne who was placed in first place. Megan and Chloe also did very well being placed 3rd equal.
It was a great experience and I hope to go again.
