Whānau achievements Induction Training at Burnham Army Camp A big up goes out to our boys from Arahura who attended the 12-day Induction Training at Burnham Army Camp on 8 March 2010. This was part of their induction into Mäwhera Services Academy. These boys had some pretty long, hard days and it wasn’t anything that they were normally used to. But they did themselves proud as well as their whānau. On 19 March whānau and friends were invited along to their ‘march out’, and boy did the tears roll! Kua maringi noa ngä roimata, Auē taukiri e. Our boys marched with pride and held their heads high like the tama toa they are becoming. These boys are breaking a cycle and with tautoko from the whānau, they will achieve their ultimate aspirations. “Whaia te iti kahurangi, mehemea me tuohu koe, he maunga teitei!” “Ehara i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini!”
On 31 March the Hokitika Swimming Club held their end of season prize giving. Ngariki Tamainu was awarded Coaches Award Trophy while Te Amo Tamainu was awarded Most Improved Swimmer of the Year, the Hardwicke Trophy and Girls Third 11–12yrs 2010 Canterbury Champs Trophy.
