Rugby World Cup Welcome Words

Submitted by Christine Hansen on Mon, 12/09/2011 - 6:06pm

You may have seen some large words in parks and on hillsides around the city over the past few weeks. These were made by schools to welcome all the participating countries to the Rugby World Cup. TGS have an entry in the Welcome Words competition welcoming the Russian team. Over term 2 and 3 an enthusiastic intermediate group of students helped me to come up with ideas, make and organise the pieces for others to participate in the making of this mammoth word of 14 letters and each letter measuring 3m x 8m.

Our school generally only takes students in category 1, which is students who reside in the zone at the time of commencing school.  At times we will ballot for a specific year group, but in recent years this has been rare.
