Auroa Primary@Taranaki Trophy Finals

On Thursday 25th September Auroa Primary School had a very special event, our boys rugby team made it through to the final of the Taranaki Trophy. It was the first time for Auroa Primary School that we had made the final. Standing in our way of glory was a daunting prospect, St Josephs Hawera, who had won the corresponding game at Auroa School earlier in the season by twelve points. Auroa were hoping for a similar half time score from this game, which had them leading at half time.

However the final ended up being straight forward. St Jospehs played an awesome game and took a convincing 0-22 lead going into the second half. The final score ended up being 19-67 to St Josephs, however Auroa Primary School were proud of our Boys team for making it through to the final, and a number of the team will be looking to back up next year. Harley from Room One was on site during the final, he took these images and also recorded the game. We'll be shortly posting his amazing footage from the event, filmed on Thursday 25th September at Yarrows Stadium, New Plymouth.

Lynski Dravitski: September 19th Highlights - Rugby

These highlights, filmed by Riley M. from Room One are of the Lynski-Dravitski Shield Challenge game between Auroa Primary School and St Josephs Opunake, which took place on Friday 19th September, at St Josephs.  The shield is contested each year between Auroa and St Josephs.   Auroa were able to win the shield for the first time in 2013 and were looking to defend it for the first time.  Following clear wins in Soccer (12-0) and a convincing win in Netball, the Rugby team was looking for a clean sweep.  Having only lost this season to St Josephs (Hawera), who we play in the finals of the Taranaki Trophy at Yarrows Stadium this Thursday, Auroa was looking for a solid display.   The game in the early stages was dominated by St Josephs who at one time took a twenty point lead.

This video shows the last parts of the second half as Auroa begun to swing control of the game back to themselves. Its our first game of 2014 filmed with different equipment. We are thinking critically about such an exciting game (which ended in a 36-36 draw) and what we could do differently with the filming. Would a tripod have helped? Is it better than when we used an ipad but we couldn't zoom in on the action? What rules would we have for the camera person in future that would help the recording? Riley wasn't expecting to be given the job, circumstances meant it was thrust into his hands, and he filmed the action at St Josephs School, Opunake, on Friday 19th September 2014.

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:
