Tolcarne News

Kia ora Tolcarne Whanau  It was a busy weekend at Tolcarne, with lots of sport and different practices! The juniors headed off to a netball tournament in Timaru, where they played a day of games, coming away with a fantastic result. Check out the Sports Department News for these results, along with the placings Eva Borkowski achieved at the SISS Swimming Championships!

Tribe Dancing was held on Monday night, with a range of different songs and moves put together by the Tribe Leaders. Each performance had fantastic energy and was highly entertaining! Highgate took out the overall win, with their take on the Grease classic - 'Greased Lightning'. Well done everyone!

On Tuesday after school the Year 9s got creative, baking and icing Matariki themed galaxy cookies. We swirled food colouring to create a galaxy effect, topping the shapes with edible glitter and 'stars' to look like the night sky! This was a fun way to celebrate the upcoming Matariki Day.

On Tuesday evening we had Year 10 Koru. This week the students had the chance to write warm fuzzies to one another, our favourite feel good activity. These were handed back at bedtime, where each student could read their wee bag of notes from everyone in their year group. Robyn also got the sewing machines out, helping students make their own wheat-bags! This was a great chance to replace any hotties before going home for the long weekend.

Grace Hastie has been selected for the Otago Spirit squad! This is a well deserved achievement, after lots of training and dedication to rugby. We look forward to hearing how the upcoming season goes 

With the long weekend ahead we hope you all find the time to relax, recharge and enjoy the company of your special people. See you all back at Tolcarne on Sunday at 3pm! Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori
