Eastern Zone Athletics 2012

An amazing day with Mangonui Students achieving excellence in so many events. It would not be misleading to suggest that it was a 'whitewash' of Mangonui students winning their events. What was most impressive is the way our students carried themselves, they stood out. They gave 100%, were proud of their school (beautiful manners) and supported each other. Could have not asked for a better example of the 'Mangonui Spirit'.

Go Katelyn!! Go Briana!!

Kobe winning yet another event!

Fantastic Sandy.

Kowhaiwhai Blessing

Today the kowhaiwhai were blessed by Matua Mike Nikora. They tell a story of our school community and landscape. The students shared the story of the kowhaiwhai to the parents and the boys supported this korero with an impromptu haka - tu meke tama.

Olympics 2012 Mangonui Style

Due to severe weather at the end of last term our Olympic Tabloid Day was postponed until today. The Active Ferns classroom organised the day linking Olympic events to Tabloid events. There was the hammer throw, shotput, sprints, hurdles, hockey and more. The day was heaps of fun with Whai Houes taking the Gold medal - Go Whai!
