Jake Bailey's Resilience Advice
Jake Bailey's Resilience Advice
By Keerat K. Victoria K. and Natalie L.
On 12 June, Jake Bailey came to T.I.S. to tell us about his life and the backstory of how he got cancer when he was 18 years old. He told us never to give up in hard situations.
After his story, he told us about the 4 S’s, slowing down, salvaging, streamlining, and standing alongside.He explained how to make a big problem easier to get through. After the assembly finished, Jake ran a workshop with some of our students.
He has made many inspirational speeches to thousands of people around the world. He wants to make a difference in the world, as many young people get cancer. Kids our age, or even younger, don’t get to live their lives to the fullest or even have fun because of this disease.
The 4 S's for resilience:
The 4 S's for resilience:
Slowing Down: Break the challenge into smaller chunks.
Salvaging: Finding a positive thing in a situation no matter how bad.
Streamline: Don’t worry about the problem, even if it is for a little while
Standing Alongside: Overcome challenges with others’ support
Matariki
Matariki
By Akshara S. and April W.
Matariki is a star cluster of nine which are identified in June or early July. It is seen for seven months before it disappears in May or early June.
Matariki is the Maori name for the star cluster. In Greece the cluster is called Pleiades, and in Japan, it is called Subaru.
In New Zealand, Matariki is celebrated with a holiday to spend time with your whanau, cousins, and aunties. Matariki is the time to celebrate the harvest season and embrace the new year and leave behind all the troubles last year. It is a time to think about the new year, and to start fresh.
The School Hangi
The School Hangi
A hangi is a traditional Maori meal that you usually have to celebrate the Maori New Year. When you have a hangi you usually cook meat, vegetables and fruit.
This year in TIS, in week nine, on the 26th of June the school is having a hangi and we are cooking meat and vegetables. The food from the hangi is being sold for $15.00 and will go towards a good cause and charity.
The hangi is going to be dug in up behind the Spec. buildings.

Tawa Goes To Town
By Ivy V. D. and Summer R.
The Choir is working hard to do an amazing performance called ‘Tawa Goes To Town.’ They have also recently gone to Tawa College to rehearse with all of the other schools in Wellington. This is a major performance for T.I.S this year, so all the students that are participating in ‘Tawa Goes To Town’ are feeling the pressure. It's a very exciting event and the practice is tough but they are dealing with it with an amazing attitude. Everyone is spending a lot of time getting ready to perform. The performance is next term on September 23rd, it will be in the Michael Fowler centre and Many schools will be performing as well. Let's go T.I.S! Good luck to everyone who is participating.

On Tuesday 18th June, students from Tawa Intermediate went to Rāroa Normal Intermediate to compete in a series of sports for the school. There were a lot of fun games, some more competitive than others. Some teams came out with wins, some not so much. But the important thing was everyone enjoyed it. From having a day with their mates, to playing great sports, everyone had fun!
There was a variety of different events such as basketball, E-Sports, Table Tennis, Art, Theatre Sports (improv), Masterchef, Chess, Football, Netball, Chess, Bowels (mini boweling), Rugby, and more.
In the end, everyone did their best, and pushed themselves to their limits. All teams were amazing!
