Cross Country awards and Rugby Assembly

Events, News, Uncategorized, ,

Kia Ora Whanau,

On Friday we had a special assembly involving 4 of the Taranakai Rugby boys – Te Toira Tahurangi (Hurricanes squad), Ryan Cocker (Melbourne Rebels squad), Leon Power (Brumbies squad) and Mitchell Brown (Chiefs squad). They were awesome! We involved them in a quiz against 4 kids from each syndicate and then a dance off to finish. We also got the boys to help hand out the cross country certificates.

Here are the cross country winners and their certificates (in no particular order):

Replacing the Centenary tree

Uncategorized

Today we had to re-plant our centenary tree. The last one got trampled and died 🙁 We decided to get a Titoki tree (or Alectryon excelsus).

Here are the Greenies planting it in to the ground. Lets hope this one lasts! Mr Sole is going to put a fence around this tree, so hopefully in 100 years time, when VS is 200, this tree will still be here.

Carrington Cup 2016

Uncategorized

The tradition that begun in 2006 (yes it is the 10th year this year) of the Carrington Cup continued yesterday with a battle against Central School (the other end of Carrington Road) in Rugby, Football and Netball.

The results were not good for Vogeltown, but the games were played in great spirits! Well done to all the VS kids who represented the school with pride, a positive attitude and showed Central the ‘Vogeltown way’. Well done!!
