Ramare 30 Whiringa-a-nuku

"Our Zac wears Black!"

Today is black out day where we get to wear black. We are wearing black to support Zac Guildford who use to go to Greytown School and is new an All Black. He has been selected to play for the All Blacks to play in Tokyo tomorrow. It is also a day for students to realise that if we work hard, train, do our best and never give up we can achieve our dreams.

The Wairarapa Times Age reporter cam to school and took a photo of some of us as well as Miss Simpson, Miss Pearse and Ms Burt. We might be in the paper tomorrow or Monday.

We also sent Zac a fax. We all signed it.

Go the ALL BLACKS!
