The highlight of the last couple of weeks is too hard to choose - first we had the White Ribbon Day and White Ribbon Riders visit our school. The roar of a Harley Davidson or five certainly caught the attention of the children! The message was even more powerful - and the students certainly did pay attention. Amazing people who travel the South Island sharing the message that violence is NOT okay. The students loved having turns at sitting on the motorbikes and talking with the riders.
This week saw many of our class head down to the Quadrathon. The behaviour was amazing and the racing even better! It is always a first class event and Rosebank students did very well individually and as a team. Quadrathon (an extended version of my favourite sport, Triathlon) is always exciting and a real challenge to many. Well done students!
Swimming Sports was held yesterday and we saw some amazing racing! Kaka won the coveted student relay - with Hoiho a galant second!
Friday was Fun Day!!! We started the day by watching the Junior SOHS students' drama production - it was amazing!!! Cast and costumes, sets and scenery were fantastic. Bad Jelly the Witch was great to see and the students really enjoyed it. The rest of the day was Whanau Groups and lots of fun hosted by the Student Council. I am sure the highlight for everyone was the massive waterslide down the bank on the field!!
What a week! Next week is the Year 8 Supper - it will be sad to see our Year 8's heading off to High School but what a journey it has been for them. I hope to see all Year 8 parents there!
I'm exhausted just reading this!!!!!
It sure was a busy week. Thanks for your help with many of these events council. Well done room 6 on your successes at quadrathon.
