Senior Camp to Taupo

 

Camp 2022 was a journey to MiCamp on the shores of Lake Taupo.

We rode our bikes on two trails. The first trail was around Lake Taupo as far as Five Mile Bay.

The second ride was on the Tongariro Trail, which started at the Tongariro Trout Centre.

So, what's the students fondest memory of this years camp?

PINK SHIRT DAY



Today, most of us work a pink shirt and other pink accessories.

The history behind Pink Shirt Day is that a boy got bullied for wearing a pink shirt. It was a school in Canada 13 years ago. Two other boys decided it wasn't right and got as many people to wear a pink shirt the next day. Eight hundred and fifty children out of one thousand wore pink. This stopped the bullying and started a global movement.

Rugby / Netball Fun Day

 The Rugby / Netball Fun Day was held on Tuesday 25th May at Campbell Park in Morrinsville.

Our two rugby teams played 4 games each. As a school team, the players ranged from regular Saturday club players, to those new to rugby and giving it a go. Extra effort shout out for Campbell, Baxtah and Jamie, who made up the numbers by playing for both teams.
As the title stated "Fun" was the order of the day. No scores were kept and fairplay nominations were drawn out for spot prizes at the conclusion.
What showed through was resilience and perseverance from the players. They held firm to their Tatuanui School values and showed these in their relationships with teammates, opponents, referees and supporters.Well done to our rugby players!  Proud of you all. Mr H.
