This can be weekly at netball, hockey, basketball, at any PB/BOP InterIntermediate, School events and NZCT AIMS GAMES. The cost of this Hoodie is $50.

PB/BOP SURFING COMPETITION Last Friday, March 6th Rory Goodchap Rm 19, Brady Anderson Rm 1, Toni Power Rm 36 and I took the day off to do a surfing competition. The competition was an Intermediate School tag team event, school team vs school team with 4 surfers in each. Many schools entered with some coming as far away as Gisborne. We arrived at Tay Street Beach, Mount Maunganui at 8.00am to sign in, get our school tent up and go for a practice surf. We got called in at 9.00am to make some plans and understand the rules for our first heat. The rules were – make sure we don’t cut people off their wave, stay at the tent between breaks and have fun! Our plan for the heats were give the first 3 people 5mins each and the last person PB/BOP (the anchor) a good ten minutes. During Surfing this time everyone could only score 2 Team rides, this is a lot harder than it sounds because you have to paddle out past the waves, catch a wave, paddle out AGAIN, catch your second wave and sprint to your teammates up the beach and tag your next team member. Also you are under lots of pressure as your team is really counting on you. We had 3 heats throughout the day and learnt heaps about surfing competitions and surfing strategies. As a team we encouraged each other and challenged each other to do their best. Overall we had a great day, we worked really well as a team & I would like to thank Ms Young for her help.
