SHOWQUEST / TOI 2024

On Wednesday 12th June a special group of performers attended the 2024 ShowQuest and Toi event. This was held at the Kiri TeKanawa theatre in the Aorea centre before a crowd of thousands. Our performers and backstage crew made us so proud! Their performance was amazing and they represented Bayview School with pride. Whilst we didn’t win the overall category we did win a number of accolades:

A huge thank you to Elleen Davids, Toni Hoy, Shannon Corlett and Teana Upson for providing our learners with the opportunity to participate in these events.

To our performers, our creators, the learners who made the costumes, to the backstage crew who helped with lighting and sound and ensuring everything was just right – we applaud you and are so incredibly proud of you!

KAPA HAKA

On Thursday 13th June our kapa haka group went down to the community centre and performed for the ‘Homegrown Early Childhood’ group. Our performers were amazing (even those who were tired from the night before!). We always receive such lovely feedback from this group. Ka rawe kapa haka group!

BAYVIEW MATARIKI SHOWCASE

Tēnā koutou Bayview whānau.

Tamariki and kaiako have been working hard all term on our projects for our Bayview Matariki Showcase next week on Wednesday the 26th of June. This event will start at 1:45pm with a mihi whakatau (welcome) under the COLA by the hall. We invite you all to participate in this special ceremony, which will be followed up with a performance from our kapa haka.

After this performance, whānau can move around the showcase to view our Habitat’s projects and participate in some interactive Matariki activities.

The showcase and interactive events will run after school until 3:50 so bring your whānau and friends for a special afternoon! The event will conclude with a waiata and karakia under the COLA at 3:50pm.

Mānawatia a Matariki!

Sports Update

Basketball Semester 1:  As semester 1 comes to end, we would just like to shout out to the coaches and managers of our 5 basketball teams. Thank you for your commitment, guidance, patience and support for our players. They have learnt so much from you. Registrations for Semester 2 are now open. Please see Seesaw announcements. Y1 and Y2: Bayview Coach and Manager: Luke Mower and Pippa Mothersole Y3 and Y4: Bayview Wolves Coach and Manager: Luke Roberts and Shar Lee Y3 and Y4: Bayview Raiders Coaches and Manager: Jason Purvis, Guy Mothersole and Jo Purvis Y5 and Y6: Bayview Breakers Coach and Manager: Pat McElhannan and Alice Sandilands Y5 and Y6: Bayview Warriors Coach and Manager: Abbey Neil-Clark, Jason Purvis and Jo Purvis A message from a very proud manager, Shar Lee: “ It’s been a tough season for our girls but I’m just super proud of them. They play every game with heart and passion regardless of circumstances – reffing or size of the boys they play or when the other team charges and tackles them as if it was a game of rugby. These girls try their hardest to follow the rules and demonstrate outstanding sportspersonship. It makes me proud to receive compliments every game either from the opposing team’s coach, parents or from the ref, even the Harbour venue controller at Eventfinda Stadium Tessa  Bennett. They’ve been impressed by how good our team is for their age, teamwork and determination as an all girls team.” The team had the privilege of attending the latest Tuatara game and managed to get selfies with some of the team as well! Rippa Tournament: On June 6th, 3 Bayview rippa teams headed off to play against other schools from the Glenfield area at Kaipatiki Park. The teamwork, support, encouragement and sportspersonship was outstanding from all players and they made us proud. Thank you to the wonderful parents who came along for the day to help coach and support the players. The next tournament will be held in Term 3, Week 4 15/8/24 and the same teams will be attending.  North Harbour Netball:  This is one sport that never stops playing when the weather is bad. You can imagine our surprise when all netball was called off due to the thunderstorms and lightning that recently hit Auckland. The Wednesday evenings can be cold, wet and windy for our Year 5 and 6 players (and supporters!) and we commend you for your commitment turning up each week. Below is an update of how they have been doing so far.  8th May Bayview 8, Mairangi Bay 16 POD: Rhys                                            15th May  Bayview 7, Murrays Bay 11 POD: Mischa 22 May  Bayview 19, St Josephs 5 POD: Eden                                                              Katrina Cray – leader of PE/Sports/Health
