Our Year 7 team played four games, sadly the other teams were very good and we lost our first three games but came back fighting and won against Melville. We would like to thank Cindy Morris for coaching on the day. The Year 8 Team won five games and lost one game and finished 3rd overall. We would like to thank Teri Whaiapu for coaching us on the day. We would also like to say a big thank you to Mrs Taylor for organising the day and to all the parents for taking transport and supporting us. Report by Monique Mellow

Inter-Intermediate Music
Last Thursday twelve MIS students travelled to Te Awamutu Intermediate to take part in a music workshop. We were split into different categories such as rock band, orchestra and choir. The songs we learned included Thriller, Beautiful, Born this way, and Some Nights. We soon had lunch and talked about what wed learned and took a look around the school. Straight after lunch we were back into making our music happen. Then the choir and rock bands joined the orchestra to run through the songs before performing in front of Te Awamutu Intermediate. It was an awesome day, we all had heaps of fun and made new friends. We would like to thank Mr Mellow, Mrs Williams, and Mrs Boyd for taking transport. Last, but definitely not least, Mrs Shepherd for organising the day. Report by Zhane Collinson & Tori Gilroy
