The last two weeks have certainly raced by with students being involved in a Canteen
camp, a leavers’ dinner, careers education, a festival of cricket, an
adventure race, a golf competition and external exams. It certainly is timely Camp recap

college. Without people willing to provide assistance to give our students all
of the wonderful opportunities they have at NSC, our extra-curricular and co- FTY
curricular activities would suffer. The time and effort you invest in our
students is greatly appreciated. Prize Giving

Southland Primary Schools’ Golf Champs 2020
Driving down to the Drummond Golf Club with our keen load of
golf players on-board: Maisie, Noah, Jack, Me (Ben) and our
Manager, Paul Heslip. We were quite keen to get out
and have some fun.
Junior Adventure Race
We started with an Ambrose in the morning - an 8 hole course
which we all thought we went pretty well in. Then after a short
lunch break we set off on our own activities. We started with
the chipping onto the green,
and what a disaster with
Maisie scoring the only
points for that activity!!
Then we went pitching into
a black net where we went
really well. After that we
went to chuck and putt,
which we were very
successful in. Lastly we
went to putting where we
finished on a good note
scoring lots of points for the
team.
Now that we were finished
it was the most nerve
racking bit of the day;
waiting for the results. It
was the final moment. “And in 1st place we have... NSC
Blue!!”. OMG that is us.—2 years running
(Note from Ms Mee: they don’t want to brag, but that is the first
time that has ever happened in the history of this competition!
Fabulous job, team!)
A huge thanks to Paul Heslip for being our manager. We
greatly appreciated all of your help, advice and
encouragement. Another huge thanks to Ms Mee for helping us
on a Friday afternoons and for letting us compete in this
competition - as well Mrs Beer who did the organising.
So while we just wanted to have some fun, we had put in the
work beforehand too, and we could not have had a better
result.
