Crowley Cup Netball Vs. Matapu School

On Friday 1st of July Auroa School hosted Matapu School in the Semi-Final of the Crowley Cup competition for the Chittenden Brothers Netball Trophy.

At stake was a final for the winning team against either Rahoutu or Opunake Primary School. It was a tough game against two competitive teams, Auroa however were able to convert a seven point half time lead into a 20-10 victory and improve on last years semi-final finish. This means that this Tuesday Auroa host Rahoutu School in the final. These highlights were filmed by Blake and Kadian and edited by Grace and Tiani from Room Three.

R4 2015 MOA Awards Finalists

In term four the MOA Kluster is having our 'MOA Awards' a ceremony held in Opunake where the students from Matapu, Opunake, Auroa and Kaponga are competing for digital excellence.

As part of our thinking about this event we looked at some movies that were produced by R4 students in 2015 - if you look closely you can see some familiar faces that they feature (and also in the background).

This was originally posted on this blog in November 2015. These videos are the finalists form Room Four at the MOA Kluster MOA Awards. You can click on the link to Mr Spice's Classroom Blog here.  

The 2016 Awards are scheduled to take place in Term Four, 2016.

R3 Crowley Cup Vs. Opunake Highlights

On Friday Auroa School travelled to Opunake Primary School to compete in the Y5/6 Crowley Cup Competition. This was a series of important games for Auroa - the Boys Rugby team were undefeated for the season except for a narrow defeat to Eltham. Victory against Opunake on Friday would mean Auroa would qualify for the Semi-Finals of the competition. These highlights were put together by Tiani and Paige.

DPE with Opunake High School Students

On Friday at Auroa Primary School we had a special set of guests who helped with the DPE (Technology) program for our Y7/8 students.  We had some former students of Auroa Primary School return and take a cooking lesson as part of their High School curriculum program.    Tiani and Ella from Room Three recorded this footage of the event.

We are very fortunate to have an amazing resource at our school which is new this year - the kitchen. Thanks to the PTA and BOT of Auroa Primary School we have a fully operational kitchen on site which is used by not just the seniors but is also able to be used by other classrooms of students in our school. This is the video that was created by Ella from Room Three
