McKINLEY & SHEPHERD CUP TOURNAMENTS
Sunday 21st June 2009
This annual tournament is for the JMC A and B Grade teams competing in the local competition. Last year Ruatangata took out both the Girls (Shepherd Cup) and the boys (McKinley Cup) competitions last year.

The K.I.S Boys 1st XI competed and had a great tournament, improving with each game. They did lose to eventual winners Mangapai, but had 2 great drawn games, including one with current competition leaders Ruatangata 2-2. Well Done Boys and great caching Mrs Tavinor.

The K.I.S Girls 1st XI also did very well, also improving as the day worn on. They did lose to Ruatangata A in the qualifying rounds, but won the rest of their games to book a spot in the Semi-Finals against Springfield (a 2 nil win).

Once again K.I.S met Ruatangata this time for the Cup Final. In a very stressful game (mostly for coach Michelsen) the Girls came thru to win 2-0. Congratulations to the new holders of the Shepherd Cup, Kamo Intermediate!

Every year, Mr Epskamp organises a group to enter the "Paihia Fun Run". There were 45 students and a few teachers (Mr Nic, Mr Brown and Papanui) and most had to get up before 7am to catch the bus by 7.30am.

We had a short stop at the Kawakawa Toilets before arriving at the start of the Fun Run course (at the Village Green).

There was a great crowd and lots of excitement at the start line.  There were 2 distances (8km run and 6km walk), a number of sections (The runners, the fast walkers, the strollers with babies and the fun walkers).

There was a certificate, a drink (powerade) and lots of prizes to giveaway at the end. All in all it was a really FUN day. Congratulations to Matt in Room 3 and Sophie in Room 10 for being the first K.I.S boy and girl across the finish.

LUNCHTIME SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES - 2009

Latest Event: SYNDICATE RUGBY

LUNCHTIME SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

What is the Lunchtime Sports Championship Series?
 The "Lunchtime Sports" is a inter-class and syndicate sports competition taking place during lunchtimes during the school year.

 Why do the Lunchtime Sports Series?
 To foster teamwork, get the students competitive juices flowing and get them active during lunchtimes. It's also a lot of FUN!

 What Sports do you compete in?
 Our first competition is Tug'O' War. Other contested events are Scatterball, Syndicate Cricket, Indoor Bowls, Soccer, Inter-Syndicate Rugby, Netball, Table Tennis, Hockey, T-Ball, Goal-Shooting Relay and Touch. Sometimes  because of weather and/or time constraints other sports are added or dropped from the schedule.

 What happens then?
 Well those who win are justifyable proud of their acheivement and to be called World Champion is a cause to celebrate. Even the teachers get in on the act, with the Champions in the various sports taking on the K.I.S Staff to win the "Bone Of Contention" trophy. So check back throughout the year to see who is Champion in each discipline. We wonder "Who will be next?"

SOCCER  CHAMPIONSHIP - 2009
ROOM 2 vs ROOM 14
-Wednesday 10th June 2009-
The might of Kowhai's Room 2 (Mrs Roberts) against The K.I.S Scatterball Champions Room 14 (Mr Kini) from Tawa for the World supremacy in Soccer.

The Soccer Plate final was between Miss Tonk's Room 9 (Matai) and Mr Palmers Nikau B. It was a very tight game and with lots of support from Mr Palmer and Miss Tonks, but the team from Matai held on to their one goal lead. Congratulations Room 9, awesome effort.

All the players in the final had a touch of the nerves as the World Championship final got  under way. An early goal to Room 14  put Room 2 on the back foot and Mr Kini's Class held the lead at Half-time 1-0.

But within 10 seconds of the restart, the Kowhai team scored, leveling the game. The tension mounted and a lapse in concentration meant Room 14 went ahead to 2-1. There were some great skills shown and some surprisingly good performances but in the end Kini's Krew scored before the final whistle to wrap up the World Championship.

Well Done to both teams and Congratulations to the Soccer World Champions Room 14 of Tawa!!!
