Vodafone Warriors - Healthy Living!

Wow what a great way to spend our Monday afternoon!   The team sent to teach us all about healthy living were awesome!

We had a team of 4 Vodafone Warriors lead us through a very informative session.  The headings of the 3 areas they covered were: Nutrition, Sleep and Hydration.  Three very important parts of our daily life.  If we do a good job looking after what and when we eat, drink and sleep we will be in top shape for our learning and more!

The style of teaching used quick fun quizzes after every short talk on these areas.  Chanting our team names was the way we identified which group would answer first.  'Warriors' and 'Nate is the best' were the two chants.

No doubt Team 5 will swing into gear to tell you more detail about our great afternoon with the Vodafone Warriors here at Pt England School.

Special thanks to Tohu Harris, Nathaniel Roache and...can you name the rest of the team.  Leave their names in the comments section to win a prize!

Believe in yourself! - Inspire Tour 2018

Covenant Events brings their 'INSPIRE TOUR' to Point England!

It was an awesome time for all our year 7 and 8 students.  Learning valuable lessons for life right now and into the future!

Here are some gems from the show:


  • How can we achieve the goals we set ourselves? Have you set yourself a goal?  Do it!
  • ASK - don't be afraid to ask for help.  It's the best thing to do when you're stuck. People WANT to help you!   
  • BELIEVE IN YOURSELF - having the confidence to give things a go is another key to achieving our goals!

Through play, song and dance Mayo and Levi entertained and taught us.  It's very likely a message we've heard from our own families, teachers and friends, however, it's always good to hear again.  Maybe for some of us we haven't heard it said enough.

Our Year 7 & 8 boys had the privilege of spending some time, up close and personal, with these two talented young men.  They got to have some real talk about being Pasifika, Maori and Kiwi boys who CAN achieve what they want to.

Thank you Levi and Mayo/Covenant Events for this wonderful experience.  No doubt other Manaiakalani schools will be keen to have you visit them too!

Malo lava le faasoa ma taumafai auā fanau a le Pasifika ma Aotearoa!
