Have-A-Go Day

Yesterday, (Thursday) all our junior students were involved in Have-A-Go Day. Students got the chance to try their hand at many different activities including fishing, cricket, ripper rugby, yachting and tennis. The weather was kind to us and everyone had a great time. Many thanks to all the staff who shared their expertise.  Link to view a slide show is:http://www.sohs.school.nz/co-curricular/have-go-day-2009

Gifted and Talented Programme- Physical Education

The aim of PE Gate this year was to introduce students to new skills that they would hopefully develop an interest in, continuing in their own time. Ten Year 9 students were selected to take part in a day long Rock Climbing course in Invercargill. Students learned the skill of climbing, tying figure eights and belaying their peers. The group was also challenged to a very high abseil in some heavy winds and they also got to see part of the Tour of Southland.
