This term has certainly been a highlight for our school gaining top results in external events.

Eis Technology Challenge

The Lochiel School staff, students and community were extremely proud of the Lochiel School Year 7 and 8 team who competed against 15 other Southland teams in Term 3 to win the eis Technology Challenge.

The eis Technology Challenge consists of two tasks and encourages students to be innovative, which this team certainly displayed.

The team's ability to work together and support each other was more than evident.

Young Einstein Competition

At the recent annual Young Einsteins competition held at Winton Primary School our senior team of Year 7 and 8 students placed second equal.

We were very proud of the students' effort and their ability to support each other to be the best they could be.

Social Science Fair Results

Room 5 students worked hard on their topics that held interest to them, with their writing and research skills stretched and extended, resulting in some great displays.

Lloyd Esler said that Lochiel School has not won this many awards before - yeah!!

Well done, Room 5!

More importantly though, is the knowledge gained, and shared with a wide audience.

For those that managed to pop along and visit the displays, there was definitely a range of interesting and complex topics!

Our Lochiel School Results were:

Genealogy - First Place - Lucas White for 'Robert Crawford', and Merit Awards - Zoe Brinkworth for 'My Great Grandfather Ronald Oliver Horn', - Nisha Dore for 'History of the Dores'.

Biography - Second Place - Lucas White for 'Robert Crawford', and Merit Award - George Fairbairn for 'Ken McConachie'

Transport - Merit Award - Olivia Anderson for 'Tarras Airport'

Room 1 Netball Stars

A few of our Lochiel students were lucky enough to meet Irene van Dyk on Monday!

During Term Two, students from local schools were given the opportunity to join Future Ferns netball sessions, held by the Central Southland Netball Club in Winton.

While these young ladies in the photos were part of the Year 1-2 group, we also had students in the Year 3-4 group, and there was a Year 5-6 group, and a Year 7-8 group!

For an end of season celebration, the netball groups had the privilege of a training session with Silver Fern, Irene van Dyk, and a dress up theme of bright colours!

Thanks to the fun and experienced coaches that work so hard with all our kids!

Lochiel Skiing

With wonderful luck the Lochiel children headed up the Remarkable mountain following a good dumping of snow.

The children loved their day and enjoyed heading up the slopes to practice their skills following their ski lessons.
