Megan 2018 has been an

amazing year for the CASS

Unit. We have learnt all about how they

learn best. Everyone who participated in the

CASS Reading and Writing group were happy with

how fun it was. The CASS Unit have been involved in

everything Waikowhai. From chilling in the library locating

their favourite books, to heading outside for some awesome

P.E sessions. It has been amazing to see everyone get involved

together. A special congratulations to Tayla for being an

amazing school councilor this year!

SCIENCE

for people

who LOVE science. Every
Friday the students get to

do really fun science
experiments. They have
looked closely at really
creepy creatures and even
got to do science with FIRE.

Classroom science

This year during Classroom Science, Waikowhai students were
on an adventure of learning. All students got to participate in
some awesome experiences such as watching REAL LIFE baby
chicks hatch! Dissect lamb brains! AND dissect chicken hearts!
The students also learnt how fast and slow energy can burn

among lots of other exciting activities.
It was a wonderful year of science!

6th March

On the sixth of March the Waikowai
Intermediate Swimming Team went
to Diocesan School pool to compete
in Central Zone Swimming Sports.

The stands were crowded with
rowdy and supportive schools but
Waikowai was by far the loudest.
The swimmers were really fast and
did extremely well. Grace and Kevin
made it to Inter Zones. Grace made
it into the 50 meter Backstroke and

Kevin made
it into 50 meter freestyle, backstroke
AND butterfly. Fantastic effort! Well

done team!

The softball boys had a mind blowing day and played better than they
expected. The results were breathtaking for both year 8’s and year
7’s. It was a nice hot day at Wesley Intermediate and because the
boys did an amazing job, they made a trip to Mc Donalds for a nice
cold frozen fanta. The boys made our school very proud and had a
fun day, which is the most important thing. A special Congratulations

Boys Hockey was a wonderful experience for all. With Mr
Ganda at the heart of the team, they worked hard and placed
third overall only to lose to many highly- skilled weekly teams.
Looking at past years this one is a relatively good year for boys

hockey.

Hip Hip Hockey! It was a successful day at North Harbour Hockey
Stadium as our hard-working hockey girls pushed their way through
the tournament coming 8th out of 16 teams overall. They were lucky

with the weather and had sunshine mostly all day with a splash of
rain. Their amazing coach, Mr Ganda, guided them in the

right direction of play. Fantastic job with great results girls!
