Fiafia night Term 2

Last night was our second Fiafia Night for the year. We had a great turn out from our community, even though the weather was awful. 

All of the groups that performed were awesome and looked really great in their outfits. 

We would like to thank everyone involved for putting this event together, to help fund-raise for us Year 8 students. 

Our beautiful girls.

Matariki celebration day

On Tuesday 14^th June 2016, the hardworking Room 10 and Room 20 students gathered together and split into two mixed groups. Half of us worked with Whaea Ata and made some marvellous stars out of ribbon. The other half worked with Miss Jones and got to chill together to create some tremendous koru art. It was a great way to spend the morning.

After break we went for a walk around the school checking out each class’s fabulous Matariki work they had completed. There was some really impressive displays and we loved seeing what everyone has learnt and how they decided to present their learning, everyone was unique.

To finish the day we closed with a whole school assembly. (I think we need to work on our singing of the Matariki song, but I’m sure we will be better next year J).

We would like to thank Ma Cynthia for organising the day and to all the teachers for all the hard work they put in to making these events possible. We are really lucky to come to Clendon Park School.

Rugby

Counties Rugby Tournament 

Friday 3^rd June, our school team competed in the Counties rugby tournament and placed 2^nd. The day was full of hard tackles, quick side steps and forceful scrums. Some of the teams we versed were Randwick Park School, Wiri School and Finlayson School. We found Randwick Park a tough team as they were the winners from previous years, but we managed to draw with them. Overall it was an awesome day and we are really proud of our results.

We would like to thank our coaches for all the hard work they put into our team. Thanks to Matua Fou, Mr Dawson, T-Rex and Tane.

My highlight was when I scored a try against the Randwick team. (Paea)

My highlight was how well our team communicated on the field. (George)
