This term, Room 9, along with rooms 11 and 10, have been training for cross-country. Our practice track goes all the way up Donnelly Street, down the hill to get to the steps that lead to Upper Wairau Road, then down Wairau Road, back up the main road,and finally back to school. We always try to run under our last time. Everyone has been trying their best and pushing themselves to the limit.

For the past few months, the Year 7's have been learning about mediation. Mediation is about helping younger children sort disputes in innovative ways. We have learnt about the different types of behaviour in an argument, including the teddy bear, the angry ape, the turtle, the fox and the owl. We try to be owls. Owls are cooperative and want both sides of the argument to win, they also want to solve the problem.
