BUSINESS DAY Tomorrow!

On Friday, all classes will get the opportunity to come through the hall and support the Rangimarie Intermediate girls classroom Business Day stalls. The girls in groups of four or five have created businesses, researched products, borrowed money, paid interest, created products and advertised their businesses.

Tomorrow they sell, hopefully being able to turn a profit on their investments. We have 18 different stalls.

All prices are between $2 and $6 and small change and small notes are highly recommended.

The girls appreciate the support of their school community in advance. This is a student only event.

Congratulations to our Intermediate Girls School Band “Chrome8” who won Best Original Song at the Greater Auckland Night 3 BandQuest event last night at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna.

The song titled “Pressure” was written by three of the band members with input from all band members who worked hard to put music to the words!

The girls performed amazingly last night in front of a very big audience and must be commended on their excitement during the whole event!

Well done to the girls and Mr Allen who have been working together since the beginning of the year!
