These two boys just went down to trial for N.T.C (National Talent Centre) for football on March the 17th in Timaru.

Out of 40 of the best football players in the South Island who trialled only around about 17 got in!

They have just found out that both of them made it in as well.

 Now they have to go Christchurch for a week in the school holidays to train with all the other boys who also made it in. They are being taught by four of the best coaches in the South Island and some X all white players.

Well done boys and good luck for in Christchurch! :) *_*

Today the Room 15 Year 8 boys helped get rid of a big table out the back of our class that Mr Hepburn didn't want. First we had to take of the ply wood that was on the top and bottom and then take apart the main body. After that was done we carried it to Mr O'Connell's shed, then we were done!
