Mr Paewai also invited three U13 Central Region Netball Representatives to the front
of the assembly. The three players were:


These girls were the only three selected from Manawatu. The team was selected
from Hawkes Bay, Wellington, Taranaki, Horowhenua and Wanganui so to be selected is a mighty achievement.
If you know of any significant achievements of any of our pupils, please inform the
office or teaching staff. It is important that we acknowledge the out of school
achievements.

You display such a
determined
character
in both academic and
physical
activities.
Success is experienced in
both these areas.
As part of my Platinum Homework Challenge, I made Russian Fudge
for the ‘Grow a $10.00 Task’. This was a great success, selling out
on both days I ran this stall. I was very pleased with the profit
made and it will be going to the Ronald McDonald House. Thank
you to everyone who brought some fudge and supported this fantastic charity. By Laura R20)
Mrs Griffen brought some and just loved it. You can make fudge
again if you wish Laura
EXPO YEAR SIX INTRODUCTORY

MATHEX:
Two teams of year eight’s and two teams of year
seven’s competed in Mathex at the Palmerston North Race Course.
First the year sevens competed against PNINS, they won. Our A
Team got 5th and the B team got 9th. The year eight’s competed
against PNINS and got first again. Our A team tied for 7th place
and the B team were 11th.
The day was exciting and the questions were difficult with the time
limit we had. There was a round of practical tasks and a round of
quick fire questions. At the end we received a pen and a small chocolate.
Overall the day was successful and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. By Alexis and Jacob R20
