LEADERS ’ REPORT
WHO BRINGS THE MANA ?
In 2021 , Miro House lost the race to the Patu by the smallest of margins ; 2.5 points . So coming into 2022 , we were determined to not let that happen again . The planned Year 13 camp also became a Covid casualty . This was a blow to our morale as one of the major team-building and bonding events of the year had been taken out , but we were determined to not let that slow Miro down . Led by a passionate team of house leaders , Daniel Cunningham , Hannah Estcourt , Ty Ormsby and Anja Edwards , Miro was ready to give it our all . The year started with swimming / water sports made up of multiple mini-events . Up first , kayaking , and despite our lack of
experience , spirits remained high . Through a mixture of training and teamwork , we managed to come out on top with an excellent display of camaraderie . This trend continued into synchronized swimming where the house leaders pulled out a victory against fierce competition . A close 2nd in the flipper relay to Kauri saw Miro take out the first event of the year and put us in an excellent starting position to fight for the prized Patu . Spirits were high going into the next event , dodgeball . The whole house stepped forward to participate in the training we had planned . The day began and all the houses came out with the intent to win . But on the day , Miro was simply unbeatable . Winning every single game of dodgeball , we charged forward in the house race to the Patu , and were starting to feel that it was within arm ’ s reach .
One of our strongest events , athletics , also sadly had to be cancelled . In place of it was a combined volleyball
