Dear Students, Parents and Caregivers,

We are already halfway through the school term and the countdown has begun for the NZCT AIMS GAMES. 5,800 students from 151 schools from New Zealand and Australia will travel to Tauranga to compete across 16 sporting codes over six days. Selections for our sporting codes continue and will be finalised before the end of term two. Students who are interested in being selected for teams must listen to the daily notices and attend meetings and trials.

It is great to hear of the progress of Mr Brett Hampton from the opposite side of the globe. His successful start to the season in Holland is great news and we look forward to continued updates. All the best from TIS!

We welcome families to come and support our students on Friday 22 June for the largest Primary School Cross Country in New Zealand. 1190 students will compete over the 3km course. Individual and house honours will be hotly contested. Racing starts at 9.00am with the Year 7 Girls.

Kind regards

Gareth ScholesDeputy Principal

We are very thankful to Mr Bill Smith and members of the RSA Indoor Bowls Club who have been coming into school on Wednesday coaching our students. They were also very instrumental in the smooth running of this tournament and volunteered their time to assist on each of the mats, giving pointers to the teams and scoring. We had 20 students involved on the day.

On Monday 21 May the Golf Fluro Fun Day was held at Te Puke Golf Course. Tauranga Intermediate was one of few schools that went to the Golf Fluro Fun Day. We had 11 teams, with 4 people in each of them, so that's an awesome e f fo r t f rom the s tudents o f Tauranga Intermediate. As we waited for our turn to tee-off, and  despite the cold frost and all the water getting into our shoes, our thoughts were jam packed about what the day had planned for us. Everybody seemed to have a great round, from the more experienced golfers to the beginners just out there for a hit. The flouro theme was a huge success and there were some awesome outfits and accessories!!The morning ended with some awesome spot prizes from Gatorade to chocolate bars!! We are all looking forward to the next Golf Fun Day.

Holland…   After   about   34   hours   of   travel     I   6inally  arrived.  As  I  stepped  out  the  airport  my  6irst  thought  was  “I  don’t  think  I  brought  enough  warm  clothes”.    It  was   freezing   and  wet.     It’s   continued  on  being   wet  and  cold  for  the   6irst   few  weeks   that   I’ve  been  here,  but  now   its  started  to  warm  up.  Tomorrow’s  high  is  25  (24  May)  and  it’s  suppose  to  be  sunny  for  the  rest  of  the  week.  I  will  believe  that  when  I  see  it!

I’m   living   in   a   place   called   Schiedam.   Its   has   the  population   of  Rotorua   but   about   a  100th   of   its   size.    Rotterdam  the  second  biggest  city  in  Holland  is  about  a   20   minute   bike.   Yes   ...   everyone   rides   bikes  everywhere  here.  Everything  is  very  close  and  I’m  yet  to  see  a  hill.

The  cricket  has  started  very  well   so   far.   I’m  playing  for   a   club   called   Excelsior   20.     It’s   a   football   and  cricket   club   in   Schiedam.   Our   team   has   a   array   of  different  cultures.  Two  South  Africans,   two  Pakistanis,  a  Danish,  a  few  Dutchies  and  of  course  a  Kiwi.    We  have  started  the  season  of  mainly  playing  T20  cricket.    We  are  currently  5  from  5  are  looking  good  to  win  our  pool.  Also  we’ve  played  one  50  over  game  that  we  also  won.    Personally  I  have  been  going  alright  with  a  few  runs  and  wickets.  Games  are  going  to  be  get  a  lot  tougher  from  here  on  in.  One  team  has  about  7  of  

the  Dutch  International  team  in  it.  A l s o   t h e r e   i s   a   f ew   e x -­‐international   and   current   6irst  class  cricketers  6loating  round.  Regards  Brett  HamptonUpdates   of   results   and   photos  from   our   team   can   be   found  at  following  website.

NZCT AIMS GAMES - 9 SEPTEMBER - 14 SEPTEMBER

Although the NZCT AIMS GAMES are just over 3 months away, this event is a major highlight on our Sporting Calendar. We field teams in as many events as possible and are eager to get our students in top condition and well drilled before the tournament. Training squads will get underway this term and trials will take place. Therefore it is imperative that students listen to notices and ask questions.

Other codes are Badminton, Basketball, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Gymsports, Hockey, Indoor Bowls, Multisport, Netball, Rugby Sevens, Squash, Swimming, Tennis, and Waterpolo. Last year we had over 210 students competing and we ‘topped’ the table by winning 5 cups and 49 medals. For information about this tournament go to www.nzaimsgames.co.nz

This year there is a record number of schools - 151 with 2 basketball teams coming from Australia, the competition is going to be very fierce. The organisers are predicting over 5,800 competitors this year!

SUNDAY 9 SEPTEMBER – FRIDAY 14 SEPTEMBER 2012

NZCT AIMS GAMES – BILLETS FROM SOUTH ISLANDWe have been approached again from Christchurch Intermediate Schools to host sporting students who are competing in the NZCT AIMS GAMES. We have helped out these schools in the past and wish to continue assisting them as it is hugely expensive for them to travel to this National Sporting Event. Billeting would be from Sunday 9th September – Friday 14th September. Once at school their team would make their own travel arrangements for the day with team mini-vans.

Chisnalwood Intermediate have approx. 36 students. So if you’re up for a new experience that week, where you’ll:

* Meet and get to know students from the South Island* Can provide a bed, meals and a safe family home for the students* Get them to school each day where they will make their own travel arrangements then, we would love to hear from you!
