Go Tonga, Go Tonga

What an experience! Twenty children, five adults...all with one purpose to welcome the Tongan Rugby World Cup Team to Auckland. A sea of red and white spread before us as we sat on the stage waiting to greet the team. We were entertained by a range of Tongan musical items as well as dance. When the team arrived the crowd were ecstatic...As the mayor greeted the team he had all the 20 ROPS children on the stage, such a special time.

These are some initial photos but there will be more once Miss Coote has down loaded hers.

Adopt-a-Second-Team

If you haven't been in and around school recently you mightn't know that we have Tonga as our team for the Rugby World Cup. The school looks extremely festive with bunting, posters and balloons decorating the entrance to the school and the library.

We have been invited to take a group of children to the airport to welcome the Tongan team. This group is being picked up on Monday morning and taken to the airport. There they will be face painted before they take their seats in a grandstand to view the entertainment and welcome for the team. Opportunities for meeting the team and having photographs taken will follow.

After we leave the airport we plan to take this group straight to Greenwoods Corner to take part in the local welcome.

What an amazing opportunity for our children! Look out for television coverage, maybe we will be in the background in the news on Monday night.

Zone Speech Competition

At the zone speech final today, Jacqueline was a fine representative of our school. She passionately spoke about her belief that there should be no animals in the circus. Mrs Bruce and Mrs Jamieson as part of the audience at the competition held at Three Kings School were very proud of Jacqueline's effort. Although she wasn't placed her content and delivery were excellent.

The judges at this competition were celebrities Kate Hawkesby and Mike Hosking.
