The school entered teams for hockey, netball, rugby 7's, football and hip hop. There were also students taking part in individual events for swimming, mountain biking, cross country, and BMX riding. The teams were very enthusiastic despite the very cold weather.

All the competitors put in a great effort and have done our school proud. 

A big thank you to the managers and coaches who invested so much time into preparing and supporting the athletes. It was wonderful to have so many parent supporters who traveled to Tauranga to cheer on our sporting stars.

To further our learning, we visited Extreme Edge Rock Climbing. We took part in a 3-hour climbing session, where we were able to put our classroom learning into practice.

Along with a fabulous assembly showcasing our talented performance groups, it was very special to see the grandparents engaged in a variety of classroom activities. After a tour of the school from their grandchild it was up to the staffroom to enjoy a yummy morning tea.

Thank you to all those who enjoyed this very special morning celebration with us.

The stage came alive in colour with our Footloose dance, followed by our AIMS Hip Hop team, who performed with attitude. It was a great night and the dance troops made Howick Intermediate proud!

This year Howick Intermediate entered eight teams into the competition. Students were able to present their findings and inventions to a panel of judges along with other students from local schools in the area. 

We are pleased to advise that the following students from Howick Intermediate School have been awarded prizes at the NIWA Manukau Region Science and Technology Fair.

Over the week there were lessons in classes which included; writing, art, food and presentations.  
 
Each Whānau also held a shared lunch, students brought food to share from their own culture, and students dressed up in clothing that represents their culture.

It was lovely to come together and enjoy the performance from our Pasifika dance group and share and enjoy a meal together.
