Have you ever heard of the AIMs Games? It's the biggest international sporting championships in New Zealand. This week Oakura school for the first time participated in the 10th year of the AIMs intermediate school games. Eight students from Oakura School participated in the event in Tauranaga.We were in 3 sports: cross country, golf and tennis. The students that competed were: Jason, Tasmin, Max, Poppy, Emily, Charlie, Lachie and Skyler.
"The race was huge and it was an amazing race to do. I would love to do it again next year," said Lachie. The games are on all this week and many of the students are competing in Tauranga now and having the time of thier lives. The competition is extremely difficult and our cross country runners found it hard to even get in to the top 50. "The race was really hard, but also extremely rewarding by just finishing it, " said Tasmin. She added, "I would have loved to do it again, but sadly I can't because I am a Year 8."
I hope that all of the year 7's will participate in the AIMs Games next year as year 8's. I had a great time and enjoyed every second of it.
