*The Muritai School ‘Mini Olympics’ will be held on Tuesday.  The ‘Parade of Nations’ will begin at 9.20am

*ASB Girls soccer tournament.  The tournament was played in the new ASB arena in Wellington last week.  Muritai 1 only lost 1 of 5 games and Muritai 2 also played well. 

We had some really positive feedback from one of the parents that attended:

“I also wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to attend this event with the girls.  It was awesome to see how they supported each other, had some fantastic chants on the sideline and represented Muritai to the standards you would expect.  The school can be very proud of them.”

Well done girls!

*Touch teams to be announced this week.  There are 5 teams entered, which is the most we’ve ever had.  We are just waiting for confirmation from Touch NZ.

*Tennis – Mr McMillan will be meeting, sometime this week, with all of those who have shown interest in representing the school at the tennis tournament in term 4.

Muritai School Values

*Last week our goal was to show courtesy.  This week we are focusing on RESPECT.  There have been a number of incidents recently that have shown a lack of respect for others and their property.  One most important values we have as citizens is respect.  Respect encompasses our 4Cs, it means to show consideration for; treat courteously or kindly.  We need to be appreciating and respecting others differences and uniqueness- protecting others- especially if they are new and you notice someone giving them a hard time.
