Nae Nae Dance Competition

Last week two contestants from each classroom in the Senior School competed in the Nae Nae Dance Competition in the Syndicate Assembly. In Room 12, Sini and Estah teamed up to demonstrate their skills and moves. The loudest applause went to them and as a result they won. Watch their interpretation of the Nae Nae dance.

                       

Duffy Award goes to Miria!

                                
On Monday I received a Duffy award for Caught Being Good. I received two books as well as a certificate, that stated that I “had excellent comprehension skills”. The title of my books are ‘Camp Rock’ and ‘SOMUCH2DO.’  I was surprised that I was chosen to receive the award. I was applauded by the whole school. I was asked to stay up at the front of the assembly and I was acknowledged by Mrs Vickers for my role as a Manaiakalani Ambassador.

Inter-school Netball Competition 2015

Schools all ready, referees steady, the whistles blow like a confetti. We versed heaps of schools. We won all our games but unfortunately we lost in the finals against Sylvia Park School. Even though we didn’t come first we were all overjoyed. We came second. Yay!   At the end of the day we did our school proud.
