Coca Cola Netball

On Wednesday the 20th of May, Pukekohe Intermediate School are sending 12 - 15 teams of girls to Papakura netball centre.

The teams are going to compete in the Coca Cola Netball tournament.

Each team will play 5 - 6 games, each game will be 20 minutes long.

We have two divisions, competitive and social.

Year 7 and year 8 students had to trail to make the competitive teams. We plan to take 8 competitive and around about 6 social teams.

The two teachers incharge of the teams are Mrs. Pearson ( Rm 23 ) and Ms. Guise ( Rm 31 ) " I think we have some strong enough teams as long as they work together " and she also said " Team work comes with practice ". Mrs Pearson said, " If all the girls play as a team and do their best job we have a good chance of making the finals" .

This day will be an awesome opportunity to play against other schools and have some fun.

We will let you know the results.

D.A.R.E

This year Room 23 is in the process of learning about the D.A.R.E education program . Our class is learning about this program so we can make better choices through out our lives.

D.A.R.E stands for
Decision making
Assertiveness
Responsibility
Esteem.

It's second meaning is
Drug
Abuse
Resistance
Education.

During this learning we had constable Andy come to our class on Wednesday the 18th of February, to talk to the class about the D.A.R.E education program.
In our class room we have our own D.A.R.E officer, her name is Constable Shree. Constable Shree has already discussed the choice box and our dare booklets. The choice box is a box where anyone in our class can put a question about anything involving dare or the police force. Our dare booklets are booklets where we do activities involving drug education. So far we have made a page about ourselves and how a Passive, Aggressive and a Assertive person acts. D.A.R.E is a very fun and educational program we are all having fun learning it and we will be sad when we have to finish.
