 Year 7 Girls

On Tuesday 16 May, the Year 7 girls SEZ football team travelled to St Kents. They were very excited to begin the tournament and the team had a winning attitude. They played 6 consecutive games with only 1 brief 15 minute break to have lunch. The team never lost a game and only conceded 1 goal for the entire tournament. This meant that they tied first equal with St Kents for the South Eastern Zone tournament. It came down to goal difference as to which team would get to represent the South Eastern Zone at Auckland Champs. We lost out marginally to St Kents, with only 3 goals separating us.

It was a great experience and the team had so much fun bonding and supporting each other. The team is looking forward to next year.

 

Year 8 Girls

On Tuesday 23 May, the Year 8 girls football team travelled to St Kents for the annual South Eastern Zone tournament. Despite the gloomy weather, the team had high spirits and started the competition off with a bang, winning their first two pool round games easily. Finishing 2nd in the pool meant that the team made it into the semi finals. We had most of the possession in the semi final but struggled to find the back of the net. The opposition got a lucky goal towards the end of the match which put us out of the final. We played off for 3rd and 4th and won easily. The girls did amazingly well, especially given the conditions on the day.


 

Year 7 Boys

On Thursday 18 May, the Year 7 boys football team travelled to St Kents to take part in the South Eastern Zone tournament. We played hard and fair and came away with several great wins. In the end, we claimed 2nd place. The boys should be very proud of their achievements and efforts throughout the day! 

Year 8 Boys

On Thursday 25 May, the Year 8 boys football team played in the South Eastern Zone tournament held at St Kentigern College. There were two pools with five teams in each. In our pool, there were Howick, Farm Cove, Ormiston, Pakuranga and ourselves.

We won all of our pool games; Ormiston 3-0, Pakuranga 9-0, Farm Cove 5-0 and Howick 12-0.

In the semi-final, we faced Bucklands Beach Intermediate. Although it was a tough match against a good team, we came out on top, winning 2-0. We then faced the very good host team, St Kents, in the final.

We started well and scored first to take the lead. Then St Kents were awarded a free kick just outside the goalkeeper's box. A little confusion in our defence led to them scoring. The score was 1-1. After a fierce battle up and down the pitch, the full time whistle was blown. We went into 5 minutes extra time. If it remained a draw at the end of extra time, then we would have to go to penalty shootouts. We were awarded a free kick in front of the goalkeeper's box. A perfectly weighted kick sailed just over their keeper's outstretched fingers and went into the net. We now had to hold on to our narrow lead to win the tournament. After a very tense last few minutes, the final whistle was blown. We won the SEZ tournament! 

As the coach, I could not be more proud of the boys. They not only played with excellent skill and teamwork, but displayed all the virtues of our school, both on and off the field. A special mention goes to our team captain, Caleb A-R. Throughout training and during the tournament, he modelled all of Somerville Intermediate’s virtues, as well as playing outstandingly.

Then, when they were large enough, we planted out the seedlings. We now have lettuces, nasturtium and beans growing in our garden. We have to spend a bit of time weeding at the moment with all the rain, as the the weeds seem to grow bigger than our plants! A big thank you to Miss Dubey for being there to help us every week! 

Girls

On Thursday 30th March, the Somerville girls' cricket team competed in the South Eastern Zone girls cricket competition. 
We started the day off by doing a quick warm up before playing our first match against Howick Intermediate, which we won. We then played BBI and this was our closest game, losing by only 3 runs. Our final game from our pool was against St John's, which we also won. This meant we had made our way into the semi final.

In our second to last game, we played a tough match against Mission Heights, which sadly, we lost. Next we were up against St Kents which was close, but sadly we lost by a few runs, putting our team into 4th place overall. 

We would like to thank Miss Naidoo and Millar O for all their hard work and giving up their lunch times to train us. We had loads of fun!

Boys

The Somerville boys' cricket team has reason to celebrate after achieving 3rd place at the SEZ tournament held in Term 1. The team showed great resilience, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the competition.

One of the most memorable moments of the tournament was the nail-biting match against BBI, which came down to the last ball. The BBI team held their nerve and pulled off a stunning victory, leaving spectators on the edge of their seats.

Contributions from Caleb A, Millar O, and Bowen B-S were also crucial to the team's success. Caleb A and Millar O's batting prowess and fielding skills, and Bowen B-S's all-round contributions, were integral in securing victories throughout the tournament.

We are incredibly proud of the Somerville cricket team's performance and congratulate them on their achievement. They've represented the school with the utmost professionalism and have set the bar high for future teams. Well done!

Girls

We had four amazing students who represented Somerville Intermediate at the SEZ Tennis tournament, hosted by Somerville, and held at the Cockle Bay Tennis Centre. They competed in the singles and doubles competition on Wednesday 26th April. 

Zoe H and Lucy Y represented Somerville in the girls' singles, while Ruolin X and Pauling Z teamed up together to represent Somerville as a doubles team.

Our girls had an awesome day and we were lucky enough to have some great weather conditions. The day was filled with some tough competition but excellent tennis skills.

Ruolin and Pauling, our doubles team, played great throughout their matches and ended up placing 3rd overall. Zoe and Lucy also played incredibly well and placed 4th and 5th respectively for the day.

Overall, it was a fantastic day where we could celebrate some great tennis. Very proud of all our girls who played, well done!!

Boys

Our superstar boys' tennis crew represented Somerville Intermediate at the SEZ Tennis tournament, hosted by Somerville and held at the Cockle Bay Tennis Centre. They competed in the singles and doubles competition on Thursday 27th April. 
Mason M and Matthew T represented Somerville in the boys' singles, and Kerry K, Nathaniel S, Alistair C and Anthony X represented Somerville in the boys' doubles team. Cohen R was also a part of our tennis team, unfortunately he was unwell on the day.

The team had a fantastic day in excellent tennis conditions. They were up against some tough competition and as a school, came away with mixed results. Mason and Matthew both faced some great opponents in the singles draw and demonstrated some solid tennis skills over the day.

Nathaniel and Kerry, one of our doubles pair, placed 4th overall, after some exciting and close matches! This was a great result for the boys. Alistair and Anthony put in a good effort over a long day. It was a positive day for all of the boys involved and I was extremely proud of their efforts throughout the day and in the lead up to the tournament. Well done boys, you all did an awesome job!

On Wednesday 1st March, they attended the GRIP Leadership Conference in Albany. They worked alongside approximately 200 other students from other schools to unpack big leadership concepts in a fun and engaging way.

This week they had the second part of their Leadership Camp. They spent the night at school taking part in team-building challenges (within their four councils; Hauora, Sport, Community and Arts & Culture) and stayed overnight in the school gym.

On Wednesday, students took part in an Amazing Race Challenge around East Auckland. They were guided by senior leaders from Howick College and challenged with different tasks that required them to put their leadership skills into practice.

We are so lucky to have such enthusiastic and hard-working students who are committed to developing their leadership capabilities and making Somerville Intermediate a great place to be.

The team achieved a perfect score of 28 out of 28 points against Sancta Maria College and Mission Heights Junior College. Four students, Grishma K, Tracy T, Arush G, and Anson L, emerged undefeated and secured automatic entry into the Chess Power Champion's Trophy Nationals. Six out of seven team members were awarded a distinction certificate for their remarkable performance. After tie-breaker/s between Grishma K, Tracy T, Anson L, and Arush G, Grishma K took first place overall, with Tracy T in second and Anson L in third. The team will now compete in the Auckland Regionals in Term 3.

The individual results are as follows:


Congratulations to the talented chess players for their impressive achievements. It was an amazing day and we all had fun.

Thank you to Amber, Coralie, Ascari, Sophie, Rylee, Kevinjeet, Skylar and Anahita, who represented the school with their extensive knowledge of children’s literature.

The Somerville team thoroughly enjoyed the event organised by quizmaster extraordinaire Wayne Mills. Over 50 teams competed. and there were ten themed rounds to the quiz. Interesting categories included Pies, Controversial Books, Baldness and Fruit.

Our team worked well together and are to be congratulated for all of their hard work preparing for the event. They trained weekly at morning intervals and read as much as they could in their spare time. A thank you to AJ and Hannah who were unable to attend on the day, but still underwent all the training, and also a thank you to Mrs van Diepen for her support on the day.

In the last week of Term 1, Year 7 Rangitoto whānau and Room 27, Kawarau whānau, enjoyed fine weather and had a fantastic time on Motutapu Island. The weather continued to play its part for our second camp.

Aoraki whānau and Room 28, Kawarau whānau, experienced the many activities on offer at Camp Motutapu from 1 – 4 May. Although the weather was a little wet and windy at times, this did not deter the students from participating in outdoor activities, including the water activities.

The students are to be commended on their determination and enthusiasm throughout the three camps and we would like to thank the many parents who gave their time and energy to help ensure the camps ran smoothly. A huge thanks also to Mr Hamilton (EOTC Director) and the teachers from Somerville who attended and supported in making this year’s camps the success they were.

Hosted by CMOC, the students galloped through various local school grounds (rain or shine) to register their arrivals at markers as quickly as possible. Unsurprisingly, the series is growing in popularity as a place for all skill levels from novice first-time map readers, to those more competitive folk with some experience and a need for speed.  

It was great to see our students grow in confidence and self-management over the course of the series.  They represented the school with pride. 

Special mention to Kade McL (Y8 Boys) who came 1st overall in his first ever try at orienteering! Serenity C (Y7 Girls) finished 2nd overall and was always on hand to help her fellow club mates with administrative tasks at the finish line. Noah H (Y7 Boys), as well as Kylie P and Gabby P (Y7 Girls), finished off their first series placing Top 10. 

Well done to everyone who took part! We look forward to seeing your progress next year.

Please find results for each of the events below:

We were, once again, flag bearers at the ceremony and it was pleasing to see the number of students who attended this special event and marched with us in the parade.
