Top School is always a big event. Getting organised early is the hangi crew. The fire has burned down well. |
The steamer ring is going in place. In the end the hangi was delicious. Tino reka!! |
|
|
There are lots of sideshows to keep the crowd entertained. Brodie and Katie let loose on the cars. |
Now the games are underway. Kevin leads the team through Stitch in Time. Kaya, Jana, Tylar and Rylee keep up well. |
|
|
Awakeri's cheerleaders worked hard all day supporting the team. |
Next up was Magic Carpet Ride. Good team work was the story here, so Luella had a full bucket of water at the end of the ride to empty into the drum. |
|
|
The Castle is a fun event. Nicole holds her leaky bucket up so it won't spill when she hits the ground. |
The Horizontal Bungee is a tough event. Gene powers his way up to get close for a shot before the bungee pulls him off balance. |
|
|
The cheerleaders keep up their work..... |
all day long. |
|
|
In the final event, Up Up and Away, our shooter Kaya had a great day, scoring twice as many as any other team. |
Nicole and Emily pulled him up and held him steady time after time. The blisters on their hands were worth it!! |
|
|
It's all over. "No matter how we end up, you should all be proud of your efforts...." |
The results: First equal Awakeri and Kawerau South! Wow, we haven't won for many years! |
|
Our team: Callum McNeil, Gene Brown, Kaya Hodson, Tylar Hall, Kevin Paulsen, Nicole Curtis, Rylee Looney, Jana Longney, Emily Robbie & Luella Howe. Congratulations!
Local MP Anne Tolley shares the shield between the teams. "Look at the last time we were on the shield!" says Emily |
