FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Kia ora koutou,

Another big week. On Tuesday night we hosted an

information evening for our Omanu year 6's, due to

a clash on our original open evening. Well done to

Max Haswell, Olivia Carr-Manoit, Hope Gibbard, Ben

Lindsey and Neve Ganley, who spoke so beautifully

on the evening.

Yesterday we hosted our open day. Our student

council acted as tour guides and showed year 6

students and their families around the school. Not

only did our counsellors do a great job, but the

whole school showed just how calm and learning

focused our school is. Well done team!

Enrolments close on 16th September. Please make

sure that we adhere to this deadline. Tell friends

and family to get those enrolment forms in quick!

On Thursday, Mrs Woods travelled to Rotorua with

our young scientists and technologists to exhibit at

the Bay of Plenty Regional Science Fair. The

standard was particularly high this year, but, we are

hopeful that we have been competitive enough to

win some of the awards. Watch this space!

On Sunday Mrs Howard and I fly to China and Korea

with Education Tauranga. We will be marketing for

international students. The revenue gained is used

for staffing, and in 2016 we have lowered class

numbers by approximately ten students per class.

Good luck to netballers for semis and finals on

Saturday. Play hard and play fair!

Have a great week!

WBOP REGIONAL CHESS TOURNAMENT

On Wednesday 10th August, three teams of four from Mount Maunganui Intermediate competed in the WBOP

regional chess tournament.

Team 1 Will Fraser, Simon Wagstaff, Matthew Adlam and Tobias Scott.

Team 2 Junhyuk Yun, Nikki Whyte, Sanghoon Kim and Sophie Ruddell.

Team 3 Caycee Downey, Emi Craig, Charlotte Harrison and John Moore.

Team 1 and team 2 both had very close scores throughout the day. In the last round, team 2 were under a

lot of pressure to win all their games, as they were tied at 16 points with Tauranga Intermediate.

Team 1 finished up with 18.5 points. Team 2 were tied with 20 points with Tauranga Intermediate. So in the

end it all came down to countback and only the winners of that would go to Palmerston North for the Nationals.

Results: Team 1 came 2nd

Team 2 came 1st equal and get to compete in the nationals.

ROCKSHOP BANDQUEST

Rockshop Bandquest is the nationwide music contest for intermediate and primary students. Bandquest is in

its third year as the younger sibling of Smokefree Rockquest.

“Rockshop Bandquest” is a platform for the next generation of contemporary musicians to step out and perform

in a supportive and encouraging competition format, with a focus on education, inspiration and entertainment.

Rockshop Bandquest is for bands of two or more members, younger than Year 9. They play a short set of

covers or original songs. There is an award for the best original song to encourage bands to write their own

material, but the focus is on performance skills.

Mount Maunganui Intermediate entered three bands. They competed at the Otumoetai College Performing Arts

Centre on Wednesday, 17th August 2016. This was an AMAZING NIGHT! Our bands did us proud and we

rocked the stage.

INDOOR BOWLS

On Friday, 19th August, our twenty member Indoor Bowls team took part in a pre-AIMS Games Pairs

Tournament, run by the Tauranga Indoor Bowls Association at the Mount Sports Centre. We played teams

from Tauranga and Otumoetai Intermediates, Aquinas College, Matahui Road, Pyes Pa, Tahatai Coast &

Pongakawa Schools.

What a successful day it was for us! Five teams qualified for post section play by winning three or four games.

The five pairs who didn’t qualify had very close losses. Stephanie Price and Sophie Ruddell reached the last

eight. Daniel Whyte and Ryan Daelemans made the last sixteen. The semifinal consisted of three Mount

Intermediate teams, which resulted in two of our teams playing off for the Gold and Silver medals.

Congratulations to Matthew Adlam and Angus

Goodwin who came 1st. They finished the day

undefeated.

Olivia Marlowe and Junhyuk Yun placed 2nd. A close

game between these rivals.

Hannah Cross and Mia Johanson came 4th, with

Otumoetai Intermediate just beating them for the

bronze medal.

Team members were:

Matthew Adlam and Angus Goodwin, Olivia Marlowe

and Junhyuk Yun, Hannah Cross and Mia Johanson,

Stephanie Price and Sophie Ruddell, Beth Simpson

and Savannah Svebakk-Bohn, Kaden Adlington and

Cooper McKay, Simon Wagstaff and Morgan McKay,

Joe Hoskins and Roman Vincent, Daniel Whyte and

Ryan Daelemans, Ben Davies and Ethan Settle.

All students were great ambassadors for our school, following our coastal values and showing good

sportsmanship. They were a pleasure to take out of the school.

The NZCT AIMS Games, in just 2 weeks, is our next

challenge.

Wish us luck!

Good bowling.
