Volume 87 June 2012

Dear Students, Parents and Caregivers,

It has been an extremely successful fortnight of sport at Tauranga Intermediate School. On Friday 25 May a team of 8 students travelled to the PB/BOP Squash at the Dame Susan Devoy Squash Centre and defended their title for a third successive year. An awesome achievement for our students, and one we are extremely proud of!

16 students travelled to Taupo on Friday 1 June to defend two titles the PB/BOP Mountain Biking Top Team and Top Overall Boy (Won by Cullen Browne in 2011). Such was the focus of this team that three athletes travelled down the day prior to the competition to perfect their run over the course. We defended both the top team with Jack, Theo, Lachlan and Kaylee and Jack Wilson collected the top overall boy. An outstanding effort and a big thank you to Sam Shergold for his work preparing this team.

With the NZCT AIMS GAMES drawing closer team selections continue. Tauranga Intermediate School has entered 15 of the 16 sports. It is vital that students attend meetings and trials a for the different teams. All teams will be named by Friday 22 June.

The School Cross Country will take place on Friday 22 June and we welcome families to come and support our students participate in one of the countries largest events. Racing will commence at 9.00am with the Year 7 Girls, 9.25am Year 7 Boys, 9.50am Year 8 Girls and 10.15am Year 8 Boys.

PB/BOP SQUASH TOURNAMENTOn Friday 25th May the T.I.S. Squash Team competed in the BOP/PB Intermediate Squash Champs which was held for the first time at the Susan Devoy Squash and Fitness Centre in Tauranga. Our goal was to retain the title that we have won for the previous two years. The team consisted of 6 players, Taylor Clarke Rm 2, Eden Pou Rm 27, Jack Revington Rm 20, Robin Yang Rm 19, Hugh Yang Rm 30 and Mikaia House Rm 26. The team got off to a good start with all the players winning their first games.

Individual Highlights on the Day:Robin Yang Rm 19! ! 1st Y8 BoyJack Revington Rm 20! 2nd Y8 BoyTaylor Clarke Rm 2!! 4th Y8 Girl

These results combined with the rest of the team was enough for our school to retain the overall winning school title for a third year in a row. The competition proved a great season start as the students build toward the NZCT AIMS GAMES in September. A great result which we are extremely proud of.

On Friday 1 June, a team of 10 students went to the Taupo for the PB/BOP Intermediate Mountain Bike Challenge. The conditions were very good - sunny, hot and dry. The track was a different course to previous years, less technical but it required more strength. We had great results with Jack Wilson Rm 36 coming 1st and Theo Wright Rm 37 3rd in the individual boys final. Lachlan Haycock Rm 29, Alex Newlove Rm 42, Riley Kirk Rm 34 and Bryn Fredheim Rm 27 also making the boys final and finishing in the top 12.

Kaylee Mudgway Rm 2 placed 2nd and Brie McLean 4th in the individual girls final. We also defended the overall teams event title we won last year for the first time ever with Jack, Theo, Lachlan, Bryn and Kaylee in the winning team. Matthew Torrey Rm 41 and Mikaia House Rm 26 were both 4th in their heats and unlucky not to make the final. Thank you to all the parents who assisted with transport and supported us on the day.

NZCT AIMS GAMES – BILLETS FROM SOUTH ISLANDWe have been approached again from Christchurch Intermediate Schools to host sporting students who are competing in the NZCT AIMS GAMES.
