Hello / Kia Ora

My mum
lost money through one of those fake ‘bank’ emails asking for her account
number and password. She is a target for every scam going. How can I help her
and my family to wise up?
……………………………………………………………
There are constant streams of scams and victims online. But these scams
usually follow a format. ScamMachine lets
you make your own video news item about a scam “victim”. Customise the video to
include a specific or common scam and put your friends or family in it. Then
send them this news item via email or post it on your social network page (with
their permission of course). Maybe next time they’ll be more careful.
For those parents who are interested in purchasing “At Home with Maths”
– a maths homework book for children, the school has the opportunity to
purchase these at a cost of $14. Please fill out the slip at the end of the
newsletter if you are interested.

will need to bring suitable clothing and shoes, lunch and drink for the day. If
you can provide transport, please fill in the transport slip below. This needs to be returned tomorrow so we can

Year 7/8 Inter-school Basketball
Mercury Bay, Whenuakite, Coroglen, Te Rerenga
Starting Term 4 - Thursday afternoons 3.30pm at the MBAS basketball gym (the new big one)
Mixed teams of boy and girl teams - minimum of 5 players. Enteries to Sandi Lowe - hindzy@xtra.co.nz via Amy Hodge. Fees: $20 per team. Will run each Thursday 14th Oct - Tues 25th Nov.
Thames Valley year 7/8 competition
Not mixed teams, boy and girl teams - minimum of 5 players per team. This competition has taken on a new format this year. Rather than the travel to other towns in the Thames Valley as in previous years, this competition will be run on 2 Sundays with round robin games being held and depending on entries, each team hoping to have 3 games on the 1 day.
First comp is to be held in Whitianga on Sunday 2nd Nov and the second comp to be held in Waihi on Sunday 30th Nov. Each team that enters this Thames Valley competition must be able to play in both comps. I'm not sure on the entry fee for the Valley comp. I think it is $50 per team but will confirm this with you.
Entries to Sandi Lowe - hindzy@xtra.co.nz via Amy Hodge by Thursday 25th Sept. This is entries for both competitions - inter school and Thames Valley.
Miniball - Junior Basketball
Diane Vetter is starting year 4 to 6 mini balls for Term 4 in the MBAS gym on Tuesday afternoons from 3.30 - registration info will be sent via Amy. This is $25 per player and each player gets their own basketball to keep!

Planting report by Sashka Highway
Today we went to plant trees by the Coroglen River.
Just the seniors went. We went in cars so if it rained we could go quickly.
It was really cold and it was raining. Some people
were very cold. My hands were cold like ice.
When we got to school we were cold and damp so
Justine lent us some clothes so we were warm.

Planting report by Shontelle Catton
What we did – We planted trees, and it was raining
as we were planting.
When we got there, there were heaps of people so we
got the job over with.
When we were finished we went back in to the cars.
Thank you parents and all the other people that
brought the trees. Thank you parents for bringing the children in cars.

Tree
Planting by Isabelle Catton Yr 7, Age 12
This morning the senior class and a few mothers
came to the Coroglen Sale yard to plant trees to make a picnic area. This was
an idea of Thames Coromandel District Council (a.k.a) T.C.D.C.
I planted with Amy, Caitlyn, Sashka and Craig. We,
as a group planted over 25 trees. My whole body was like a popsicle because of
the rain. Everyone was soaked.
Overall I think we did really well and when we come
back in about 20 years, we can all say that we planted some of those trees. I
had heaps of fun.
Thanks to Amy for the pictures J
Have a fantastic week!
