Youth Week Report
Youth Week Report
This year, as part of the nation wide Youth Week, Pukekohe Intermediate councillors organised a week of Daily Trivia Questions, an Art Competition and a Mufti Day. The trivia questions were put into the daily notices and students had to answer these questions before morning interval, handed into the Student Centre. Each day we drew out a winner and they received a prize. The students who won have been listed below showing what day they won and what question they answered correct.
Monday- How many gold medals did New Zealand win at the 2008 Beijing Olympics? 3 gold medals. The winner was Brendan Byerley of Room 23
Tuesday- What New Zealand artist sings ‘under my skin’? Gin Wigmore. The winner was Shannon van den Berg of room 23.
Wednesday- What major hit movie stars John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John? Grease. The winner was Vaughn Hannah of Room 5.
Thursday- What does Aotearoa (New Zealand) Mean? Land of the Long White Cloud. The winner was Rachel Van of room 30.
Friday- Who plays Daniel Potts in Shortland Street? Ido Drent. The winner was Avril Mita of Room 1.
During the week we ran an art competition that students could enter and be into win prizes. Billie Paterson of Room 23 judged all the entries. It was a difficult decision to make, as there was only 1st 2nd and 3rd Place Prizes.
The winners were:
1st Place- Lupe Soapi of Room 23
2nd Place- Avril Mita of Room 1
3rd Place- Pauline Paratene of Room 44.
The big success of the week was the Mufti Day, which was held on Wednesday 27th May. Buddy Classes were assigned to specific colours to wear on the day. From each of the classes, councillors chose the best-dressed student in the class. Then all of the students that were chosen from individual classrooms came together and the councillors then chose the 3 best dressed out of the school. The winning students were Kathleen Griffin- Room 12, Jamie Turkington- Room 23, and Daniel Bullet- Room 36. Students enjoyed the awesome day organised and the school Councillors were pleased, as Pukekohe Intermediate raised $374.50.

Dziah 2.0 Performance
On Wednesday 27 May 2009, Pukekohe Intermediate had the pleasure of enjoying the entertainment of Dziah 2.0, who are the current New Zealand Hip Hop Champions. Before they took the stage, Billie Paterson, Danelle Cox and Christian Nepia had the chance to interview and chat with the dance crew.
P.I.S: So how long have you guys been together as a crew?
Dziah: Just over a year.
P.I.S: So you guys haven’t been together long. What inspires your dances/routines?
Dziah: Our mum’s! Oh and the pies from Pukekohe! They're nice!
P.I.S: Did you guys come from other crews or is this your first?
Dziah: Most of us are from other crews but for some, this is their first crew, and were already a big success.
P.I.S: Did you go to Dance Studio's as kids?
Dziah: Not really.
P.I.S:What about at school?
Dziah: Yes, we moon walked in the technology atrium.
P.I.S: Have you been in any recent competitions?
Dziah: We won the title of the New Zealand National Hip Hop Championship, and we will represent New Zealand at the World Championship. We also won the Stomp Competition.
P.I.S: So do you have anything to say to your fans who are wanting to become big Hip Hop stars in the future?
Dziah: Just to practice and give it your all.
After the interview, we watched an incredible performance by the Dziah 2.0 dance crew. The crowd went wild throughout the performance as the crew displayed amazing talent in our school hall. They were also a laugh and a half, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
