2021 Stanley Avenue Tennis Championships
Over the final weeks of Term 2 a strong group of Year 7/8 students battled it out in order to win the prestigious Stanley Avenue Girl and Boy Tennis Cups. We were fortunate enough to be able to practice and play our competition games at the Te Aroha Turf Tennis Courts. Student’s played in a round-robin format, with students learning the art of umpiring along the way. In a hard-fought and tense Boys final Jake Horan emerged victorious over Jake Anderson. In the girls' division Taranpreet Singh- Mahal (2020 Runner Up) took the spoils with victory over Greer Gemmell. All students are to be credited for the way their tennis skills improved throughout the tournament along with their sportsmanship.
We would like to thank the Te Aroha Tennis Club for allowing us to use their courts. This was greatly appreciated by all.
Girls Champion- Taranpreet Singh- Mahal
Girls Runner Up- Greer Gemmell
Boys Champion – Jake Horan
Boys Runner Up- Jake Anderson

2021 Stanley Avenue Cross Country
On Wednesday 18th August we will be running our School Cross Country. (Saving Day- Thursday 19th August). This is a whole school event that takes place at Boyd Park, starting at 1pm.
For the day to be a success we need parent volunteers to assist with being the track marshalls. This will involve being placed at different parts of the Wetlands or Boyd Park to ensure student safety. It can also double as a great spot to watch the races! If you are able to help please contact Di Meyler 027 272 2227 or the office. Keep watching this space for details of the race order, with the approximate times.
Hearing and Vision Checks Monday 16th August
Vision Hearing Technicians from Community and Southern Rural Health will be visiting our school. The objective of the test is to identify previously undetected vision and hearing defects.
If any parents/caregivers do not want their child to be checked, or their child is currently under specialist care for a vision or hearing defect, please let the school office know.
Which children are routinely checked?
-Children who have not completed vision and hearing checks as part of their B4 School Check
-Children absent from the previous visit, require retests or follow up
-In special circumstances, parents, teachers, or others may request a vision or hearing check.
What tests are carried out?
Ears
Audiometry (hearing test)
Tympanometry – middle ear function test (only carried out when a hearing test is not within a normal range)
Eyes
Long distance vision tests – not a complete visual examination, but a simple screening test
NB All of these checks are non-invasive, safe and should cause no discomfort.
Winter Olympics Fundraising - Will continue into Term 3!
