R3 Rotokare Educator Visit

This week we were lucky to have an educator from Rotokare Education Centre, visit us and work with each of the classroom to learn about how to track life around our school. We created pit traps and tracking stations and we able to put these all around our school. It was an amazing experience and we are looking forward to our Rotokare visit later this term.

Mt Spa Soccer Results 2014

Today at Kaponga School, Auroa Primary School claimed a famous double.  Auroa had two teams in the Y5/6 competition, both managed to qualify for the semi-finals, then had to play off against each other.   Rico, Danielle and Riley's team was able to progress through to the final against Opunake Primary School, where they were able to triumph with Caleb scoring a hat-trick.

In the Y7/8 Competition, Auroa again fielded two teams, looking to win a competition that we had not won for fifteen years.   Tom and Michaels team found the going tough but represented the team well, including a legendary goal from Tom against Kaponga, scored from half way.

The real story of the competition came from the other team featuring Keifer, Isabelle, Heavenlee, Logan, Lucas and Captained by Harley (and others).  Pool play saw them defeat Kaponga B 3-0, draw with Matapu School 0-0.  In the final pool game the team played against a strong Rahotu team and lost 0-1.   This meant that qualification for the semi-finals could only occur if other results went Auroa's way.

This duly occurred leaving Auroa to take on top qualifiers, Kaponga 'A' in the semi-finals.  A game that was drawn 0-0 at full time, with numerous chances went to sudden death extra time.  Lucas floated an amazing cross into Logan who drilled the ball first time in the roof of the net.   This meant Auroa were in the final, and had to play against the Rahotu team they'd lost to in pool play.   Logan again proved the difference, striking from just past half way early in the first half.  The strike proved crucial because despite numerous chances  from both teams, including the opportunity for a brace for Logan, the final score remained 1-0, with Auroa claiming the win for the first time since 1999.

Auroa Primary School Vs. St Josephs Stratford

Yesterday Auroa Primary School hosted St Josephs Stratford in the second to last round of the Y7/8 Taranaki Trophy sports competition. Auroa were looking to confirm their place in the Netball and Rugby finals of the competition by claiming a final win. Having only lost to St Josephs Hawera in competition, the Girls could not afford another loss. However, having already played and lost twice to St Josephs Stratford in Saturday morning competition it would be fair to describe Auroa as the underdogs. Kaiah from Room One, filmed the action and then took care of the editing:
