Student Council Program

Last Tuesday, the YMS Student council went to Rawhiti School, to learn about our health and learn what other schools do. It was really interesting to learn what other schools do for their health and well-being. They had a very cool morning planned for all of us. We did Zumba, we went on a bike track and played some games.

It was really interesting when we were presenting to some groups. It was good to know what other people do at their schools. But when it was my turn to present with Hannah, I got a bit scared to speak but I managed to do it.

Here are some photos of our experience:

High Ropes and Low Ropes

On Monday, the year 7 and 8's went to the Groynes for our William Pike Challenge. We were going to do high ropes and low ropes and did some teamwork exercises. It was really fun doing the teamwork exercises because it was something new that I haven't really done before.

The thing I found challenging was the bog challenge, where you have three planks and the whole group has to get across the bog with the planks without touching the ground. It was really fun. After some more exercises we finally went onto the giants ladder, it was really hard because the higher I got the gaps got bigger, so I couldn't get to the top. Then finally we did the vertical playpen, and I got to the top. I felt very accomplished.

I had a really fun time. Here are some photos from the experience:
