HOUSE DRAMA
This year the House Leaders were given the brief of writing a short play in melodramatic style to include a hero, a villain and someone who needs helping or saving. To make the competition a bit more complicated they were given particular things that must be included. Waimea won the competition with "Romeo and Juliet?" and had to include a yellow hat, a large paint brush, the phrase "Yes we can" and a broken brown banana box. They were also very innovative in their production performing their melodrama in rhyme which was written by one of the students.

CACTUS
The Cactus programme is an eight week course similar to the Physical Training on an Air Force or Army recruit course involving three sessions a week from 6 - 7 am doing circuit training, military drills, team work, leadership activities, pushing police cars and including climbing steps at the Cathedral. Click here to see pictures of the day the students graduated after carrying out their tasks. The graduation included speeches from the Mayor of Nelson and the Police District Commander.
Congratulations to Sally-Mae Amos, Sophie Cooper, Alyssa Langford, Dasha Loukina, Atiria Martin, Neneh Martin, Sammy McLouglin, Katherine Richards, Maraed Riley and Sarah Robinson.
