Social for 2012

Thursday 13th September was a day to remember. Why? Well... Because the year 7&8's had their very own social. I thought that this years social was going to be boring but I was wrong. It ended up being an enjoyable night and this is how it all planed out.

One of the reasons why I liked this years social was because of the theme. ‘New Zealand's Olympic Team’ but an easier way of saying it would be ‘Black And White’. No one really came in black and white which was disappointing.

The highlight for me that evening would be the dance competitions. The first competition was a dougie battle and the winner of that was Nezinli. Second event was a catdaddy comp. Lots of people were good but at it but not as good as Samson, our winner. Next competition that I am going to tell you about was my favourite. AZONTO!!! I danced to the peak of my talent but sadly I didn't win. As I danced with my friends I got tired and sat down. Most of my friends were still dancing. Waving their hands in the air was a sign that everyone was having an awesome time. Thanks to Selena and Mr Tele'a for being the D.J of that night.

So that was how it all planed out. As I said my highlight for the evening was the dance competitions. It was good to see lots of people having fun. Anyway, I would like to thank the Tele'a family for all their help. Also most of the teachers for keeping us safe and last but not least the prefects for making this happen.

Mini Olympics

I ran to the hall like a cheetah, trying to dodge the rain. Sprinting to the hall and dodging the rain was no challenge for me though. Anyway, I saw everyone sitting down. As I walked in I started to scan the room for a sign saying: Mataatua 1. I found it and sat down. I waited and waited for something to happen.

It was Monday 3rd September, the day the year 5-8’s had an awesome sports day. Sadly, they changed the games because of the weather. The teachers decided to play inside games such as Jump Jam with Ms M, Cyber Coach with Mubba, Movie watching with Mr J, some more movie watching with Mrs Tele’a, relays with Ms Vaafusuaga and another relay with Mr Burt.

One of the activities I enjoyed was Movie watching with Mrs Tele’a. In this activity we had the opportunity to relax and watch old manaiakalani movies. At the beginning I felt really excited to see my friends looking young and with a cute voice. Anyway, as I said I was excited but as I watched the movies all of a sudden a movie with ME came on. “No. Please Mrs Tele’a don’t put that movie on” I begged Mrs Tele’a.
“Lets watch Vivienne.” Mrs Tele’a excitedly said. Everyone cheered and I tried to hide.

“Shot Vivienne. That was a pretty cool movie.” My friend said to me. I looked up and it wasn’t that bad. I wished I had had the confidence to watch that movie.

As I said we went around to different rotations and sadly that was our last rotation. Everyone went back into the hall and watched PENN (Pt England News Network). I really enjoyed our Mini Olympics and wish to have another one.

The Olympic Creed

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well."

This is the Olympic Creed. It is something to motivate the athletes competing in the Olympics. It can remind us that winning is not important. I hope you have learnt something...
