Tarryn continuing with the last of the sessions at Tauranga Intermediate and has also been doing sessions with Yr 7 & 8 classes at Te Puna School, ACG School and Papamoa College. Have received email interest from Pyes Pa School, Matapihi School and Whakarewarewa School. Welcome Bay School has booked in for sessions in 2018 already.
I have now completed the sessions with Ben Hurley (PR Teacher/Sport Coordinator) at ACG School and a group of yr 11 students and their Cambridge assessment requirements.
I have over the last week been at Tauranga Boys College working with 5 of the PE teachers and their Yr 11 classes. In total I will be having 3 classes for 5 x 1 hour sessions and 2 of the classes for 2 x 1 hour sessions. I will also be assisting the teachers with the NCEA assessments of the boys.
The BOP Yr 7 & 8 qualifying tournaments were held in
CBOP on Wednesday, 2nd August (9 teams in total from Kaitao Intermediate, JPC and 7th Day Adventist) and in
WBOP on Friday, 4th August (25 teams in total from Otumoetai Int, Tauranga Int, Bethlehem College, Te Puna School, Papamoa College, Waihi College & Katikati College).
There were only 2 teams that showed interest in entering in the EBOP competition (from Awakeri School) so this tournament did not go ahead. We invited the teams to compete at either the CBOP or WBOP events but they also had Science Fair on that week so declined.
Yr 7 & 8 BOP Finals are being held on Wednesday, 23rd August. A few teams who qualified for the finals will not be attending due to other school commitments on that day (Te Puna and Kaitao). I have invited Awakeri to come through but have not heard back from them yet.
