Polyfest 2015

It was a cold yet Sunny Saturday last week when all the Pacific Islanders and Diversity gathered together and made the Number 1 Festival in Auckland, It was held at the Manukau Sports Bowl.

When my family and I got there we saw a lot of people and we heard cans sounding, drums beating, we walked to the the Samoan Stage and it was full of people.

Luckily we found a good spot, right in the middle,
It was so exciting to see some ex students from Holy Cross

When it was time for Avondale (the Overall Winners for 9 years in a row) The first people I see was Coretti, Phillimayna, and Hope, and My Beautiful Sister Danielle
She looked like a Samoan Princess, I was happy and so grateful to have a sister like her.

After Avondale performed I was going like crazy,
I was really proud of my older sister because of her beautiful dance, she was the Queen of the Samoan Stage.

It was time for prize giving and I was really nervous yet excited to hear about the results,
For Co-Ed schools 3rd place was Avondale College, I was really sad but at the same time I was happy they came a place
2nd place was Manurewa College and 1st place for the Co-Ed category was Mangere College.

I was really happy to be there at Auckland's Number 1 Pacific Islander and Diversity Festival. 

Softball Tournament !!!!!!!

Last Week on Tuesday we had our Softball Tournament at Brains Park in Kelston.

Early in the morning we set up our gazebo and practiced  Then a teacher from Kelston Intermediate called us up to their gazebo and told us all the rules and the boundaries.

We had 10 more minutes to  get ready for our game, our first opponents were BBI , as we took our position I was feeling sick in the stomach, but we were well on our way

Later on that Evening we were going to fight for Third place our last opponents were Range view Intermediate,We were getting ready to play then suddenly the bell rang and started to play.

As we finished the game we congratulated Range view and Holy Cross came third place out of the whole competition and out of 15 schools, now that was a day to remember.
