HIGHLIGHT OF THE TERM !
This week was pretty busy for me but also a blast. This week I had a lot going on from trips to important events I attended with a few of the year 7 and 8s. Monday and Tuesday were just a normal day for me just like most days. Wednesday was probably my highlight of this year because we finally got to go to Rainbows End which is a theme park in Auckland New Zealand. Every year 7 goes to rainbow’s end as an end of the year special trip. We had two buses taking us there which we got on after we were split into different little groups with an adult. I was in a group of six which was a pretty decent amount of people which made it easy for us to stick together.
On that day the year 8s were going to a college near our school to have an activity day where they get to experience how it is at college and to just do fun activities. The day started off with the sky cloudy and grey which gave us some hints that the day was not going to be smooth with this weather. Once we got to Rainbows end we got out of the bus and made our way to the entrance where we met up with other schools and sat down in lines. Each student was given a band before heading in through the ticket booth. My school and the other schools lined up again on the other side of the entrance where we and went together with our group.
The first ride we went on was one called the Invader which was my favorite ride at Rainbow’s end but as we got on we waited for a full 20 second’s and were asked to come off the ride due to the rainy weather. I was a bit devastated that I wasn’t able to go on my favorite ride but I got to go on my other rides. Throughout the day we went on all the different rides at the theme park and also got to go on them multiple times. Me and my friends that were in my group went on a water ride called the log flume that I really enjoyed as well as the roller coaster and bumper cars. After we got to go on as many rides we had a little lunch break together as a group. After our lunch break we went on from there to try some more rides and the ones we enjoyed. The day went on so fast that it felt like not long ago we got there but it was time to go back to school. I had a bunch of fun going on the rides with my friends and gathered some great memories to remember.
Recently my schools girls rugby 7's team had the pleasure of being invited to a special event held in the morning on Friday the 20th, last week. This event was the Women's 2021 World Cup draw. The women's World Cup is held every four years and next year is the year the women's world cups is going to be held by New Zealand for the first time. This was a draw for each team from different country's that were competing. This was to see which team was in which pool and what and exciting news we found out about New Zealand and Australia being in the same pool which is going to be an interesting game. We had a great time seeing some of the players in the black ferns which is New Zealand's Women's rugby team. On each seat had a little rugby ball and I was so lucky to get it signed by Fiao'o Fa'amausili in the black ferns and also from Sonny bill Williams. We also got the chance to be in the same room as New Zealand's Prime Minister , Jacinda Ardern. What a great day it was for me and the girls to experience. If you were to interview the girls and me and ask them how it went I'm 100% sure they would reply with great feed back from that event. Thanks to Mrs Va'afusuaga our Sports leader and the organizers for the women's world cup for giving us this opportunity. I had a great time which is why I wanted to share how it went and how much I enjoyed it.
