It was wonderful to see so many Matamata College students participating in the Anzac Day commemorations within our community. Many students were part of the dawn service, including the 1st XV squad who marched in the parade.
Our Head Students contributed significantly to this morning’s local Anzac Day services. Zayden Bradley and Van Williams spoke at the Matamata service, while Sarah Lock and Tilly Hickie addressed those gathered at Walton. They all spoke impressively, with each of their speeches including references to family members who served in various conflicts. Our Head Students also laid wreaths at each service, while Pire Poi Wilson played the Last Post and Reveille at the dawn service.
Our school community will have the opportunity to hear the outstanding speeches of our Head Students at our annual Matamata College Anzac Day memorial service next week.

In the last week of the first term, our entire school community was saddened by the news that Mr. Baxendine’s therapy dog, Kolbasa, had passed away. Not only was Kolbasa a comforting presence in Mr. Baxendine’s office, our students also enjoyed taking him for walks during breaks.
Mr. Baxendine has a new pup and we’re delighted that he will start working with him during term two. He would like to offer our students the opportunity to come up with a name for the male pup. Suggestions can be emailed to Mr. Baxendine ([email protected]). ... See MoreSee Less

Day 3 and final day of NZSS Canoe Slalom champs.
The team was having a crack at kayak freestyle which is trying to do tricks and flips on a play wave. It was freezing 🥶 conditions and in freestyle there is a lot of getting wet with rolls and flips.
Both Liam Bracey and Isla McIntyre toughed out the conditions and made it into their age group finals. Liam placed fourth and just missed out on a medal.
🥉Isla McIntyre Jnr U14 freestyle.
For the second session the team battled it out in Kayak cross. Kayak cross is an open event. Loki Goudswaard excelled and paddled multiple elimination heats to make it into the final four to run the river and placed fourth.
It has been a very successful event for the team and we thank everyone for the support who has helped in the fundraising, our JaniKing school cleaning company for their sponsorship towards travel. The community has been awesome!
The majority of our team now are staying on for Nationals and have another week of paddling. ... See MoreSee Less
