Message from Melinda Bennett
Kia ora koutou,
It has been another busy two weeks at MBIS. Congratulations to all the dance groups who competed this last weekend
at the intermediate and primary schools dance competition and the national cheerleading competition. It was a very
successful weekend as you will read in this newsletter.
We had a very exciting two days of school athletics two weeks ago and despite the wild and windy weather I very
much enjoyed being part of the year 7 day. It’s always wonderful to see every student in the school giving all the
activities a go. Well done.
Over the next few weeks there are many things happening here at MBIS. There are a number of end of year concerts
and performances for you to enjoy and we have our annual 'thank you' morning tea for all parents and caregivers who
have helped this year at MBIS. We really appreciate the time our parents most generously give to help our school be
a great place and for our students to learn and grow. More details about this morning tea will be sent out about at the
end of the month.
Last Friday we had a very successful and fun disco which was organised by students from the Action Group. Students
enjoyed not only dancing but carnival activities outside. A well organised evening enjoyed by all; thank you Action
Group.
Thank you for supporting our staff on Monday with the strike. We know this is not always easy for families.
Have a great weekend and enjoy this weather.
Nga mihi
Melinda Bennett

Chess
Nathan Jin (Room 13), Andy Song (Room 14), Andrew Li (Room
33) and Allen Li (Room 42) attended a two day chess
tournament (New Zealand Chess Federation National Finals)
at Mt. Maunganui in the first week of the last school holidays.
A total of 250 children competed at the tournament. After a
very tough battle the MBIS team came an extremely close
second by only one point. Against such challenging teams this
is a remarkable achievement. The school is very proud of the
boys. Well done team!

won their division taking home gold medals and a winner’s trophy
each! Congratulations to all those who participated.

through the day undefeated, winning the final over Northcross to finish first.
