On the 2nd of March 2017 Stanley ave held a twilight gala. It was on the back field and they held all sorts of stalls. It had rock climbing, paint ball, bumper balls, hang on the jeans, decorate your own cupcake, ice skating, guess the teacher- which had their baby photos, and a live band where Mr Spicer sang. There was also a spin the wheel, which was when you spun the wheel and won prizes, and a sausage sizzle (which was really yum).

A big thankyou to all the volunteers we couldn't have done it without you.

Altogether it was a really fun afternoon at the gala and we hope more people come next year.

Waimarino

Last week the senior syndicate went to Waimarino for year 7\8. There was the blob which you had to wear a life jacket and a helmet. There was the UFO it had a trampoline and a mini blob, a slide and a rolling pin. There is a big diving board and a little diving board and a rope swing it was a long drive but it was all worth it. There was also a slide Mrs Rendell has still got a sore bum from it. The first half of the day we got to enjoy all of these activities. The second half we spent it kayaking. The kayaking was lots of fun, but mine tipped over and sunk. Lots of people showed they had some skills standing in the kayaks and we had to make long chains called rafting-up. It was heaps of fun.

Camp

This term our school had yr 7 and 8 camp we climbed up the mountain. It took more than 2 hours to get up there and I died. It was so hard to get up to the top but I managed, plus the view was so worth the hard work we put in. We had lots of helpers and parents it really means a lot.
