The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day for the netball games between Te Mahia School students and the staff. Caitlin Bell-Bregmen suggested the idea to her teacher and was responsible for making the event happen. She coordinated everything; date, players, time and the build up. It is great when people take initiative and want to put in the effort for cool things to happen at school.
Both teams were feeling pretty confident, the students leading the way with a comprehensive warm up prior to the game starting. The staff dragged the chain as they organised children to be seated and eating their lunch. The students won the toss and decided to claim the ball. Everyone took the court and our first 7 minute quarter was underway.
The staff were leading for most of the game and ended up being victorious on the day with 26 points to 4. There was some sharp shooting from Stacy, Cherie and Aunty Jennifer which helped seal the deal. Dean Cameron provided some strong defence in the goal circle and managed to turn the ball over a number of times for the students. Brady Kamau and Tegan Kereru worked well in the circle together.
It was a lot of fun and something we will have to do again one day soon.
