Term 4 Highlights

This term reminds me of the fun and exciting things we done for the past few weeks. Our school has been involved in many different sports we enjoyed. I really enjoy using our netbooks and getting to take them home. My highlights are the most things I have enjoyed this term.

My first highlight is the Senior Prize giving. I really liked watching all the items and seeing the people getting the awards. The item I liked the best was the year 8’s, it was cool and funny. Another thing I liked about the Prize giving was getting an award, I got the award for best effort from my class.

Volleyball was another highlight this term. It was fun because it was something different and we played by the real rules. I also liked how fun it was and how cool it was to get the chance to play. The sad thing was that I didn’t get to represent the school at the beginning of the term.

My biggest highlight of all is becoming a year 8, and being at the top of the school. I cant wait to be a year 8 because its the last year of intermediate.

What does being a Yr 8 role model mean

Being a year 8 is like being at the top of the school. Today all the year 8’s have gone to Totara Springs so the year 7’s have to step up and take charge. The important things that makes a good role model is taking care of the little kids and setting a great example for them. The person who really stands out if being a good role model is Tia , I pick her because she does the right things and she is very mature .


As I am going to be a year 8, I’m looking forward to being at the top of the school, as well as being a great leader. My biggest fear of being a year 8 is doing the wrong thing and making the little kids do the same. Seini - Mino is the person who would make a great Leader, I really think she will be great for a Prefect because she is a great person and takes charge of her stuff and other people.

What makes a great Role Model ? Making a great Role Model is keeping to the rules and controlling your actions as well as the words you say. I really hope that we have great leaders next year to make our school a better envrioment.

Senior Prize Giving

Last night our school was holding a Prize Giving for the years 5 to 8. I was so excited, it started at 7:00 p.m and ended at 9:00 p.m. The best thing I was looking forward to was seeing who got Dux as well as the performances. The group I participated in was the year 7 item. The best thing about the night was getting an award, I got the award for Best Effort in Room 21, I was really proud. Another thing I enjoyed was the ending because it was so hot and I couldn't wait to get out.

Athletics Interzones

Walking into school seeing the intermediate team all ready for the inter zones at Loyd Alsmore. When the bus came we all ran to the bus, and as we arrived at Loyd Alsomre we sat under a tree near the entrance, unfortunately Sacred Heart already reserved it so we sat on the other side. We had a little look around the place and walked around the track a couple of times. Then we saw all the other schools arriving.

After all the examining we sat back down ready for the first event. The first event was the 1500 meter race, but our school wasn’t in it. During the races some of the boys went to compete in there first event like Shot Put, Discus, High Jump and many more. My event was at 10:30 so I just wondered around the place. I got bored so I sat down and had a little snack while I watched most of the events. I was in the finals for Discus.

Finally there events finished, some people came back both happy and sad but unless they tried. When they came back they had a little snack, just as they were coming up the hill I heard a call out for all the Junior Girls to make there way to Circle 1 for Discus. I was so nervous but i had to believe in my self, there had to be 2 people form each school but I was by my self because Thora was away.

As I arrived to circle 1 I saw all the other people I was competing against, I was so nervous. I was the last person to go. When I walked into the circle, I picked up the Discus, and after I threw it, the helpers measured the length, but I stepped over the circle. Then everyone had a 2nd attempt I would of came first but I stepped over the circle again. Soo I had to have another go, but I didn’t really try, but unless I came 3rd.

I really enjoyed my self, as well as the company of my friends. It was so fun and exciting, especially the races. I hope we do the same thing next year, and have a really good time again. I would like to thank all the teachers and helpers for supporting us through out the events.
