Melville Intermediate - Senior School Athletics

On Friday Melville Intermediate School held the first of our Athletics Field Days. At Melville Intermediate School all students compete in Athletics then we have a 'Elite' competition where we select the students to represent us at the Inter-Intermediate Schools Competition. Another innovative thing that Melville Intermediate does is that the students run each event. The teachers are in charge of their class and making sure everyone competes but the students themselves run the events at each station, and rotate around from place to place. We have a record back to 1967 of the best school results in competition, which we will post online for your school to compare yourselves against! We sent Molinda, Janice and Vitolina out with a Camera to record some of the action, filmed at Melville Intermediate on Friday 30th October 2009.

We'll be recording the finals for you all to view on Thursday.

Melville Intermediate - Good Luck to the CPA

Tomorrow morning at 4am the Melville Intermediate School Cultural Performing Arts Group (CPA) leave Hamilton for Australia and performances in Sydney and the Gold Coast. We'll post an itinerary online tomorrow as we know we have students/teachers who follow this site online who will be watching some of the shows in Australia! All the students, tutors and teachers have put in a huge amount of work into the project and the performances will be wonderful. The hard work at school culminated last week in the night shows on Tuesday and Wednesday for supporters and parents in two shows at Melville Intermediate School. So many highlights but these are just some from the 'Maori' section of the show on the second night. Filmed by Matthew from Room 12 who did a superb job!

Melville Intermediate - Appleby School in Nelson.

In the coming days we're very excited about an opportunity to help and interact with Allanh K's Class from Appleby School near Nelson in New Zealand. They have a wonderful, wonderful blog full of great ideas and teaching resources which you can contact by clicking on the picture to your left. The students in the class have been learning a Mihi, a Maori greeting and our students are going to be listening to their Mihi and helping them (if required!) by Skyping with their class.

We've only just tried a few class to class link ups and this is something that the Room 8 students are really excited about. Its a great opportunity for our students to further their learning. We had a look on Google Maps and if we drove to the School it would take us 14 hours to get there!

Melville Intermediate - 'Green Day' Garden Fundraiser

On Friday at Melville Intermediate School we had our 'Green Day' Fund-raiser. As an Enviroschool we were raising money for the school gardens which will be replanted shortly in spring. Every student had the opportunity of coming to school in Mufti (non-uniform) if they made a gold coin donation ($1 or $2). There was also a competition for students dressed in Green. Each class had to nominate two students dressed in green to go forward to the finals judged by Mrs Bleakin and Mrs Wilson. Of course Room Eight was there with Vitolina filming Arahia as she watched the competition! Filmed at Melville Intermediate School on Friday 23rd October 2009.
