Today, a fascinating event featured during the weekly assembly, that occurs first thing Monday morning. An award was presented - a most important and invigorating award.
The Sir Peter Blake Young Leader Award
Our very own, Benjamin Mata received the award, which was presented to him by Mrs Mary-Ann Gawne from the Manurewa branch of the Westpac bank. Westpac are sponsors of the Sir Peter Blake Trust.
Ben was given a medal, a Westpac bag, a DVD about Sir Peter Blake and a framed certificate.

Speaking of team work...
Stunning work last week from Huia 1 for achieving First Place in New Zealand for Mathletics for Week 9 of Term 2. The class competition runs weekly, but the top student competition runs daily. Our Krizelle was top in New Zealand and the World for a day and our class achieved second in the World for the week, with 178,552 points. The winning class, (Mrs Mitchell at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Primary School, in New South Wales, Australia), achieved a massive 213,997 points.
Everyone achieved their 1,001 points minimum expectation, with Krizelle surpassing her own goal to achieve 40,005 points! So, everyone has earned their entry to the hot chip lunch on Thursday.
Other high achievers were Sarah I with 21,554 points, Fa'afili with 12,557 points and Tegan with 10,559 points.
This afternoon, we had a phone call from Jamie from NZ Mathletics head office, congratulating us on our achievement.
We wish Kea 1 (Mr Yates) success (which involves hard work and determination, we discovered) in their goal for New Zealand and World domination this week.
At time of publishing:
Mr Yates's class is 4th in NZ and 7th in the World
Kamaldeep is 3rd in New Zealand for Monday; Sophia is 8th and Jaime is 10th.
