Sporting Opportunities
We would like to thank Mrs McKee for her huge
effort in organising this mini tournament with
Weedons School on Friday 24 August. Thank you too
to our dedicated parents Sue Robinson, Amanda
Tomlinson, Gavin Summerfield, Barry Ward, Chrissie
Dalgety, Andrea Wright, and Tracey Ford who
helped with coaching, refereeing and organising the
facilities on the day.
Our rugby and netball teams had a great time finally

Cantamath 2012
Cantamath 2012
On Wednesday 8 August 2012 Cantamath
was held at the CBS Arena. It was really noisy with lots of teams and
supporters. There were about 320 teams of four, from Year 7 to Year 10. The West
Melton School teams were;
Year 7: Max S, Sam C, Samuel K, Tait
S
Year 8: Jack R, Danny R, Ally T,
Isabella H
The teams
had 30 minutes to answer 20 questions without using calculators. Each team had
a designated runner who picked up the questions and dropped off answers.
Some of
the questions were really hard! Try this one!
e.g. Lunch
starts at 12.05pm and finishes at five minutes to one. Through how many degrees
has the minute hand on the clock moved during the lunch break?
The Year 7
team answered 9 questions correctly, while the Year 8 team answered 7.
It was
great to represent the school and it was a good experience seeing all the
people there and being able to answer some really hard questions.

Wearable Art Winners
The Moa Team held an Olympic-themed Wearable Arts competition. The standard of entries was extremely high and showed great imagination and creativity.
Congratulations
to Wearable Arts winners Mackenzie D and Sarah S with their entry
‘Swim for Life’ and to Katie G and Kate C with their entry ‘It’s
not about the Killing’. These children will now have the opportunity to
participate in the 2012 Cultural Festival, taking part in two matinee
performances, on Wednesday 5 September and Friday 7 September.
We were very privileged to host Carl
Meyer, Olympic rower in Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 as guest Wearable Arts
judge. Carl also spoke to the children about his Olympic experiences and
answered questions in the Olympic hot seat.
Olympic Fun
The Pukeko Team held an Olympic-themed sports event and had a wonderful time practising their skills out in the sun.
Jump Rope for Heart
Students had great fun dressing up in sports-themed mufti, skipping, and raising $285 for the Heart Foundation.
