The 200m Heat Race

At The Pakuranga Athletic Club Lloyd Elsmore, a Tamaki cluster athletic day was on the way. I had participated in the 200m race and The Long Jump representing Pt England School as a year 7 contestant. My mum, dad and grandparents came to support me and the school.

GO SON! Said my mum, as the man clapped the clappers for the 200m heat race. I pushed off my foot as hard as I could and started sprinting as I was coming around the corner of the track I saw a friend of mine to the right of my lane, his name is Tevita and is currently a year 7 student at Sylvia Park. As I ran next to him I started passing him and that built up my confidence and I got faster and faster. It was just me and another student that attends Stonfields. In my mind, I kept on telling myself that I could do it. So I started to pump my arms and legs and ended up winning the heat. "I'm in the finals!" Is what I screamed I really wanted to jump and celebrate but I had no energy.

In the long jump, I came second behind Tevita N. The length of my jump was 4.76m and Tevita jumped 5.12m. In the finals for the 200m race, I came second behind Tevita N.

Andrew Patterson and Raenan's Speech to the yr7&8

Ever heard of the name Andrew Patterson? If you have then guess what? Today he came to Pt England School to talk to the year 7&8 students and trying to inspire us about changing our ways and trying to get the year 8's comfortable for College next year. Andrew Patterson Interviewed his guest, Raenan.
Raenan is a ex student of Pt England School and is now attending Tamaki College.

Raenan has just been informed that he will be Deputy Boy next year for Tamaki College, He talked about his time at Tamaki and his last year at Pt England School. He said that his number one college that he did not want to go to was Tamaki College. But his mum said he had to. At first it was nervracking for him but as the years went passed he loved it there. Raenan's Quote was "If change doesn't come then make a change." He definitely inspired me and I look up to both Raenan and Andrew Patterson
