Dark Horse - Reflection

My favourite character in the movie ¨Dark Horse" is Genesis Potini because even he has a mental problem he still knows what´s good and bad. He can still control himself as a normal person. My favourite scene in the movie is when Michael win the game, and Genesis was so happy that Michael won the game, I like that scene because it shows us how happthey were and it shows us how they really deserve to win the tournament.

Passion Projects: Planning of Events


Today, we are continuing on planning for our Passion projects. We have changed our target to student football tournament with the Year 7 and 8 because they're too many groups that are doing basketball. So far, we have emailed Mr.Hilliard for permission to use the gym. We’ve presented in front of the project group to explain what our project is about.

Our next step is to get an equipment list to have the right equipment for our tournament. We need this because we can’t play football without correct gear.
