Digi Entries and Outlook for Someday Film Challenge - due by next Friday
Students are hard at work this week finalising their entries for the Manawatu Digi Competition.
All students are putting together a movie for the Movie, Documentary or animation section.
They are also completing their selfie (See criteria in an earlier newsletter) and a Graphic design. This is a small graphic poster representing their family. Photos of family members can be bought from home for this or sent to school on a pen drive.
Some of these entries e.g selfies, are also for Lamb and Calf Day.
Dental Clinic
The dental unit is at school this week. Remember to return the forms the next day after you get them, so the dental therapist can carry out any necessary work on your child.
Bon-Apiti
Toasted sandwiches at $1.50 with a choice of fillings each Tuesday and Thursday. These are proving to be very popular.

Sports Report
Congratulations to Hannah and Brooke's netball team who won the final for their grade in PN last week.
Rugby - 29.08.15
Congratulations to Huntah's under 13 Saturday morning rugby team who won their grade in Palmerston North on Saturday. Huntah, being the captain, was presented with the shield.
Huntah's Manawatu Under 13 Rep team played Wanganui at Wanganui on Sunday with a winning margin of 84 - 5.
At rugby it was the last day of the teams being together and my team played against Marshall's team. It was the toughest game all season and both teams wanted to win but we wanted to win more because we wanted to have an unbeaten season. We did it, we won and I got six run away tries and Marshall got seven tries but we still won and the score was 16-9. On Sunday we fed the lambs and went for a walk and found all kinds of interesting things and Dylan found a pinecone bigger than his head and I carried it all the way back up a steep hill and we said that it was Dylan's and mine.

Happy Birthday to the following student who celebrated her birthday recently, we hope you had a great day! - 30th August - Sarah!
