First Week for 2011

The first week for 2011 has been very interesting. This year instead of having 20 computers we have 10 computers, an iPad and will be getting a number of iPod Touch's. This term the year 8's from room 40 will be taking part in Food tech and Drama. This term Swimming Sports are on, so about twice a week we go to the jubilee pools to practise. I look forward to this term and learning a whole lot more!

School Athletics Day


This term each class have been training up for the school athletics day. Each student got the choice of going to the competitive athletics at Growers Stadium or tabloid sports back at school. At Growers Stadium each student had to choose which events they would like to take place in. The choices were, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, High Jump, Long Jump, Shotput and Discuss. On the day sunny day of Tuesday 16th of November the 300 students that went over to Growers Stadium were placed in any of the categories junior, intermediate and senior. Kaitlin Petherick, Havannah Pearson and Tauhi Lopeti also broke previous school records. Good luck to all the zone competitors and we hope to get some good results.

Seminars




This term the school students are set a challenge to complete a seminar based on what the enjoy or like, or a career they have an interest in. I have chosen to complete mine on a Flight Attendant. To research and gather information for this I have visited the Auckland Airport and met with a flight attendant to interview and show me around an airport and a plane about what it is like to be a flight attendant and what the job involves.
