FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

Today brings another busy term to an end - one that has seen many successes and much learning. Thank you to the families who came to learning conferences this week. All staff that I have talked with said that they enjoyed the opportunity to talk with families and that there were many positive conversations. With half of the year remaining there is plenty of opportunity for the students to work towards achieving their learning goals. I would like to congratulate everyone on another positive term, behaviour wise. Our Coastal Values of Learner, Pride and Respect are consistently demonstrated by over 95% of our students. Thank you to everyone who has supported the school, in any way, this term. We cannot provide many of the “extras” without this community support. Please know that your help is appreciated. We welcome Ms Morresey back for the beginning of next term, following her well-deserved sabbatical. I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday. Beryl Harvey Acting Principal

ELITE ROCK CLIMBING On Friday 23rd June, 9 MMI students travelled down to Taupo to compete in the BOP/Poverty Bay Intermediate Rock Climbing competition. The students started off with 4 walls, 2 for girls, and 2 for boys. There were certain colours that they had to follow up the wall and they were numbered from bottom to top. 2 of our students, Olivia Way (year 7 girl), and Reed Tong (year 7 boy), made it to the finals. Both did well on very difficult climbs, to just miss out on the top 3. Thank you to Carla Blockley, from Rocktopia, who allowed us to use their climbing wall before the competition. Well done to the following students who represented our school so well. Mia Thompson, Mia Fletcher, Kalea Earles, Max Way, Cole Blockley, Reed Tong, Cam Ford, Arlo Cullwick and Olivia Way.

We made numerous semi-finals and finals and won trophies in Swimming, Cross Country, Darts, Frisbee Golf, Boys Indoor Soccer, Quality Living and Scramball. A huge thank you to Colm Kenny and Ana Sheerin, who helped the team throughout the week. Thank you, also, to all those who travelled over the Kamais, to support us throughout the week. Thank you to all those who provided transportation to and from Totara Springs.
