On Monday 31 August our school speech competition was held. It was obvious from the quality of speakers, the teachers had helped in many ways to improve the standard of speech writing and delivery. Thank you also to all the parents who have encouraged their children in their learning.

We were entertained with stories from Dad and their fishing, to looking at names and some embarrassing moments we all have.

Congratulations to all the speakers and especially our winners:

Year 3 and 4:       1st Gemma Bateman (Fishing)

Year 5 and 6:       1st Gemma Thorp (Names)

Year 7 and 8:       1st Jacob Reyland (Embarrassing Moments)

Good luck to the people who will be representing the school at the cluster speech competition.

Tuesday 4 August 2009

It was truly a night to remember. The live band roared to life and the students proudly sang ‘School Stinks’. The 377 people in the audience were cheering and stamping their feet with the music.

The main character Smithy, played by Jonty, was an energetic and funny boy who was perfect for the role.

The crowd laughed and cheered as the muscial carried on. The mistakes in the first act were bearly noticeable, if people were late on their lines it did not matter when they were on stage. Alex who played Ms Byrde was a fantastic nervous wreck. Her singing was bold and proud.

Smithy is about a boy who turns the whold school upside down. With Smith in the school play things can only get worse! But in the end when the glamorous critic saw the play (and the fire) she thought it was ‘Wonderful Darlings!’

Smithy was presented by Omokoroa No 1 School and was fantastic. The director Liz Webster really brought the characters to life. Choreography and music was all done byt the superb Natalie van Dijk and of course Christine Birchall and the wonderful live band.

Smithy is one of the best shows Baycourt has ever seen.

Today at school we held a Wacky Hair day to help support two mothers in our school community who shaved their heads to raise money for child cancer.  Marion and Michelle raised over $3000 and we think they look fab.  Well done ladies

From Variety Bash

Just before 2 o’clock we put on our variety club hats and went out to sit on the bank above the top field. The whole school came outside to watch. We waited and waited. Then finally along came the fun filled painted vehicles. They each hooted and tooted as they came racing across the field.

Wow! There were so many free giveaways. Stickers, bookmarks, popcorn and chocolate bars, plus more___________________

One machine squirted foam and wet people. Even Mr Barthow and Mrs van Dijk got soaking wet.

We clapped and cheered as the cameras filmed for the Prime TV show. It was a fun afternoon and raised money for those with needs.

Stayed tuned for more on the Variety Bash

Well the sun came out at last and what a successful event the mower day was this year. Huge crowds and some awesome racing. The mowers were faster this year than ever before with top speeds of around 50kmph down the home straight and some serious drifting on the corners. The community got together at the event and we even had a number of the local candidates for the upcoming election racing in the “celebrity race”.  Stay tuned for more photos and movies from the event.

From Tree Planting

Last Wednesday the whole school went down to Huharua Harbour Park at the end of Plummers Point Road to help do the planting to establish the reserve. They all worked fantastically and surprised us all by the amount of planting they got done. We look forward to being able to use the park in the near future.
