Cam's House

This week has ticked along, last night netball was a good close game but as I lept and bound I have hurt my knee. I did the whole ice thing and anti flam last night but it was really sore this morning first thing. That combined with the fact that its currently feels as though somone scooped up the ocean and is dumping it in massive quantitys on my class room is making feel grrr. On the upside I met with some christian kids at school this morning and spent some time prying wiht them which made me feel much better about life in general.
hey the Heral wrote some awesome stuff about my school on sunday

"THE BEST ACHIEVERS:

Mt Roskill Grammar School

Scored: Won 71 scholarships - putting the decile four, public school fourth in the country and just two behind the top Auckland school, Auckland Grammar. NCEA pass rate averaged 57.7 per cent, one of the highest of the lower-decile schools.

Roll: 2306.

Ethnicities: Indian 25 per cent, Asian 27 per cent, New Zealand European 17 per cent, Pacific Island 20 per cent, Maori 5 per cent, other European 2 per cent, other 4 per cent.

Description: It could well be the perfect public school. Decile four, co-educational and situated bang in the middle of Auckland's red-brick suburbia, Mt Roskill has twice been Goodman Fielder School of the Year and has students from 60 nationalities.

The result: Acting principal Mark Rivalland said the school focused on developing "a really great attitude to academics" and hard work was the key to student success. This year, the goal was to lift the academic performance of weaker students. There had also been a major push to help boys do better."
