Well done to the following Room 6 kids who were selected as part of the BP Tech teams for this year. Ryan, Jack, Natasha, Danielle, Lexie, Summer, Joel, Louise, Nicole, Chris and Kimberley.
June-ELSIE LOCKE WRITING PRIZE
I was delighted when fourteen of our children entered into this writing competition. It is run by Learning Media who create our school journals. This will be a very popular writing competition as it would have been offered to all schools. Part of the prize for the winner is to have their story published in one of the school journals. There is also huge prize money for the winner, plus a plaque. A couple of cheeky kids admitted to me that they were only in it for the prize money! Good on them, but hopefully they had a love of writing too! The stories were fabulous and there were a few that I think the judges will consider quite highly. So, well done to Joel, Georgia, Kathryn, Bernie, Hugo, Alice, Kimberley, Kristen, Ryan, Jack, Callum, Louise, Summer and Chris. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you. These children received our assembly certificates this week.

June-Debating
Our Year 8 Debate Team competed against Sacred Heart in a challenging debate on whether Rugby should be an amateur sport. Our girls competed very well under the guidance of Avril Bray, but unfortunately could not take out a win. This means their journey in the interschool debate competition is finished for the year. Well done to these girls as it has required them to work in their own time to be prepared for the events.

Wearable Arts-March
Summer was chosen to meet the Supreme Winner of the NZ Wearable Arts. They got to learn how to make a costume with her and her team. Summer's costume was a yellow Samoan outfit with frills and feathers. Glitter was added to it and WOMAD was written in glitter on the front and back. She had a headband with a feather on it. She looked fab and had a great time making and parading the costumes.

Senior Assembly-March
Well done to Finn, Tylo and Alice who were really 'put on the spot' by Mrs W when she asked them to stand up in assembly and talk about their findings in the Science homework investigations. They did really well, spoke with confidence and authority on the subject they studied.
Ambassadors-February
Congratulations to Alice becoming AMBASSADOR for the first two terms of 2011, and Tylo becoming Deputy AMBASSADOR! To win this role they had to do a three minute speech in front of their peers which is a really hard thing to do. After that they had to have an interview with Mr Greer, Mr Poulgrain, Mrs Sims and Mrs Stuck and that would have been a really, really hard thing to do. There were a lot of children who tried out for these positions. Good Job Guys!
By Jack
House Captains-February
Congratulations to Joel, Lexie and Nathan for being selected as House Captains for the first two terms of 2011. We think they were good choices for the job and we know they will do well. The first task for them will be guiding their houses at our senior swimming sports and then the Triathlon/Biathlon coming up.
