Term 2: Week 7: 12 June to 16 June 2017

Yesterday we competed in the Small School's Cross Country at Whakamarama Schools. It was a tough competition and we were so proud of the way all students gave their best. Well done to the following competitors who placed in the top 10:- Polly Year 4, second place, Denley Year 4, ninth place, Bridget Year 7, first place, Jack Year 8, fifth place.



TRIUMPH & DEFEAT CAN = RESILIENCE Watching the America’s Cup challenger series this morning was gripping, largely because the conditions were such that they pushed the boats, the crew and support teams to the limits of endurance. The level of resilience now required by Emirates Team New Zealand to repair their boat after the disastrous start they had in Race 2 will be immense, but we can anticipate that they will overcome this set back and resume their challenge once more. They will have learned from their mistakes. “Team New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling said their spectacular capsize was their own fault but insists the damage is repairable and the syndicate will bounce back.” 1

One of our aims here at Matahui School is to give our students genuine opportunities to meet with triumph and defeat by providing them with educational experiences that guide them in making the most appropriate choices even in difficult circumstances. The point is to get them to understand that from making mistakes we can learn, and through acquiring resilience to cope, this will help shape their character. Yes, our students could well be part of Team New Zealand, possibly not at the tender age they are currently, but at some point in the future.
