High School Corner

Junior Workday
Many thanks to members of the community who offered support to the junior students for workday. Final totals are not yet in but we are hoping that both major projects for the Student Council will happen.

NZ Secondary Schools Indoor bowls
Anjela Frost, Taranaki under 15 Indoor Bowls Champion was placed 3rd in the NZ Junior Indoor Bowls Championships on Saturday 28th August in Wellington. She was knocked out by 2009 NZ champion Teri Anderson in the semi final. One champion from each region competes in this tournament.

In the NZ Secondary Schools Champs on Sunday 29th August, Anjela Frost was 9th in the championship singles, while Rebekah Frost (5th) and Kylie Rowlands (9th) played in the consolation round. In the NZSS Pairs competition on Monday 30th August Anjela and Rebekah won all qualifying games and finished 9th in NZ. Jacinta Frost and Kylie Rowlands also won all qualifying games and finished 5th in NZ at their level.

Congratulations:
Jessica Short, Nathan Heine and Alexandra Merson were presented with a Level 1 Basketball Umpires certificate at assembly last week. We hope to see them umpiring at Stratford games in the near future.
