Term Three is a critical one for our NCEA students as it is the last full term to ensure

Nationals Report - Lilly Bain
In the holidays Momoti, Natalie, Ben, Bianca and I went to Dunedin for Nationals. I was lucky enough to be
a selected player for Football, Netball B and Ki-O-Rahi at Nationals to represent the Top of the South Island
team this year.
Once we were down in Dunedin, after the pōwhiri, the sports began. It was a tiring three days of sports
playing a game of football, netball and ki o rahi one after the other, but it was amazing to see all the
selected players from Area Schools around New Zealand come together to challenge other teams on the
fields or courts.
I loved playing these games at such a hard level and also loved the competition everyone brought. After the
three days of sports was complete, I was selected for the Netball B and Ki o Rahi South Island team which
then takes on the North Island team. These games were very tough but a great opportunity to learn new
tactics and to display these on court while working as a team. I really loved my week down there, even
though it was a bit chilly and I was privileged enough to have made the New Zealand Ki-O-Rahi Team which
was a wicked achievement to take away from the week.
Big thanks to Lorna, Sam and Tracey as well as all the coaches.
Ngā mihi, Lilly

Introducing Pip Brake
I have been living in Melbourne, Australia for the past
fourteen years and teaching at Caulfield Grammar
School. Before that I lived in London and enjoyed
travelling all around the world. I have visited over
fifty six countries but with the recent global events
feel incredibly blessed that I can come home to NZ. I
especially love to visit countries in Asia as I love the
food, history and culture, although I also have a slight
obsession with visiting castles in Europe. I love old
‘stuff’.
I brought my dog Bella with me, she is twelve years
old and a Hungarian Vizsla. I am looking forward to
refreshing my cultural understanding in my home
country and eventually hope to be living on a farm
as I am over the ‘city life’. While I am originally from
Whakatane, I have friends and family in Takaka and
Nelson so this is a wonderful opportunity for me and I
am very appreciative.

Takaka Library Breakfast Quiz - Thursday 2 September
• We will be sending two teams of four plus two reserves to this fun and delicious quiz in four weeks.
• They will have to answer ten questions on three set books plus general book knowledge. The three
books are:
• The Tunnel of Dreams by Bernard Beckett, Awatea and the Kawa gang by Fraser Smith and Whiti;
Colossal squid of the deep by Victoria Cleal.
• We will be having lunchtime practise for all those 10 that have been chosen for the teams. The team
members will be expected to read at least one of the set books. We have copies in the Library.
We hope you are all enjoying the Olympics - we have an eye-catching display in our foyer about Japan and
NZ’s 100 Year attendance at the Olympics (The first NZ team was sent to Antwerp Belgium in 1920). Before
that we joined with Australia in 1908 to compete.
I read a thought provoking article from the USA (Post & Courier) from a University Professor &
Administrator (Solomon Stevens) about today’s students inability to critically and deeply read articles and
books which has lead to the erosion of democracy, it is worth reading the whole article but one part partly
sums it up …..
“Young people today may be technically literate, but they are just not interested in doing any kind of
sustained, complicated reading. And when they do read anything longer than a meme on social media,
they have trouble understanding what they have read.” We need our citizens to understand that….. “In
democracies, people need to prepare themselves to vote and to hold their government accountable and not
be susceptible to propaganda.”
Let’s keep up that reading guys, adults and youngsters alike, it might make the world a better place.
Good luck, Diane & Donna
