Harry Chissell (photographed above) from Room 6 at Matahui School celebrated success with his Te Puna under 11 rugby team over the weekend. They beat Papamoa Blue in the Western Bay of Plenty Championship. Harry said “They scored the first try but then we struck back by kicking deep into their half. From there we scored and we went on to win 36-7.” At a prize-giving last weekend Harry was also awarded ‘Most Improved Player’ for the season.

“Next we play the winners of the Eastern Bay and it should be a hard game.” said Harry as he looks toward his next challenge.

Matahui Year Eight Mathematicians Ben Robertson, Jessica Dallas and Libby Silson (pictured above) won the Tall Poppies Problem solving cup this week. The event is always very competitive and this year was no different. The Year Eight team never surrendered an early lead and consequently held off all challengers. The Year Seven team of Olympia Magnussen, Ruby Robertson and Ella Gordon-Scapens also competed extremely well and tied for first place in the Year Seven competition. Congratulations to both teams!!!

The two teams enjoy their wonderful achievements.
