Here at Kaitao Middle School, we have the very famous, Beep test.
The Beep Test is a test of fitness skill.
How does this test work?
A CD plays with a beep. It starts off beeping every 9 seconds. We have to run 20 meters in the 9 seconds, and reach the line before the beep. Every 5-10 beeps, the level changes, and the time gets shorter between the beeps. People start stopping. They count how many laps they got up to.
There are 3 levels.
Bronze= 65-85 Laps.
Silver= 85-100 Laps.
Gold= 100+ Laps.
Its an amazing achievement getting any of the levels.
Academies do the Beep Test about once or twice a term. The whole school usually does the test in the same week. This term, (term 1) each Academy would have done two beep tests.
Kaitao Marae Experience
In Term 1 at Kaitao each Academy had a stayover over at a marae.
Most Academies went to Tunohopu Marae, Ohinemutu.
At the marae, the Academies stayed for 2 nights, and had a waka experience, and learnt about Maori culture.
