Web Wonders win 2nd Place


On Thursday evening Sarah, Leishan, Kimberly, Mrs Nicholls and Mrs Jewiss all flew to Auckland to attend the TVNZ NetGuide WebChallenge awards on Friday. For some of us it was our first flight and was very exciting. We stayed in a hotel in Central Auckland and Mrs Jewiss brought us breakfast in bed in the morning!

On Friday we started the day with a trip up the Sky Tower - WOW! It was scary walking on the glass floor and seeing all the buildings below. We then went to the TVNZ Atrium building ready for the presentation. All the other schools were there and it was exciting seeing Matt and Dana from Studio 2. We sat right down the front and got a big clap for coming all the way from Dunedin. We were really nervous, butterflies fluttering in our tummies. They started with our category, third place goes to ... It wasn't us!! Second place goes to ... Us!
