Speech Competition Success

This week Ripeka and Arohaina represented Tauriko School at the Tall Poppies Speech competition at Omokoroa No1 School. The girls were up against the top students from schools around the district. We are thrilled to announce that Ripeka won the Year 7 competition with her speech on 'Attitudes'. Arohaina also has a successful experience, taking out second place in the year 8 competition with her speech on 'Rheumatic Fever'. We are so proud of the girls and the time and effort that went into writing and refining their work, as well as the honing of their speech presentation skills. Ripeka now goes on to the next stage of the inter-school speech competitions. Good luck, Ripeka!

Tall Poppies Problem Solving - 2nd place!

Tonight two teams of Tall Poppies competed in the Tall Poppies Problem Solving Competition. The competition was tough with teams from schools around the district putting in their top mathematicians. Congratulations to the girls' team of Hannah, Mereana and Cumorah who came second! We are so proud of the three of you. Well done to the boys team (Ethan H, Iraia and Ethan C) who worked hard too - you all did really well.

Get Reading and Eat Pizza!

Today Tauriko School students in Years 3-8 were issued a reading challenge
as part of a national promotion with LIANZA and Hell Pizza.

This is an exciting opportunity for all students to have extra reading mileage
(and enjoy a pizza along the way).

Students are coming home today with a pizza wheel and a detailed booklet outlining the challenge.

Any questions regarding the challenge, please see Lisa Rose.
