By halftime at Gisborne on Sunday,
Massey led 3-2, which completed the scoring. The students’ goals came through Cole Freeman, Zac Farmer and Michael Hilson. Coach Donald Piper said returning from Gisborne with three points was impressive. “We didn’t win it statistically in terms of chances created but we scored the goals.”. Five Massey players are in the leading group of the Golden Boot contenders: Rhys Galyer, Farmer, George Andrew and Cole and Joe Freeman. At Havelock North,
Marist coach Juliano Schmeling said “individual mistakes” cost his side the game as Marist struggled to cope with Wanderers’ long ball game in a 3-1 loss.
Feilding led 12-0 at halftime and they scored a try each in the second half. Ball carriers like star No 8 AJ Malili-Malo-Lauano and tight-head prop Pale Mariner made inroads, setting it up for their backs. Centre Matt Florence was sharp and scored a try, while wing Nickster Tafolo grabbed a double. Meanwhile, the
Palmerston North Boys’ High School put in a sharp performance in a 45-7 win over Francis Douglas Memorial College in New Plymouth on Thursday. Boys’ High got on top early and led 14-0 before Francis Douglas came back at them and the game evened up. They scored a try each before halftime for Boys’ High to lead 21-7 at the break, then Boys’ High took control in the second spell, scoring three more tries.

FOOTBALL: Palmerston North Marist swept aside Gisborne Thistle 5-1 with a scintillating display of attacking football in the men’s Federation League on Saturday. In what was their most accomplished team effort so far this season, Marist buried previously-unbeaten Thistle, announcing their intentions within the first five minutes of the game when striker Nick Carrick scored the first goal of his hat-trick. His goal haul saw Carrick leap to the top of the Golden Boot competition as unbeaten Marist moved the ball from side to side interspersed with short-passing rushes up the middle in a patterned approach that left Gisborne struggling to cope.

Targets are set for HSC results, NAPLAN, attendance and wellbeing
Principals are concerned the targets will lead to perverse outcomesÂ

Principals warn new school performance targets will lead to âperverseâ outcomes such as students being pressured to do easier HSC subjects, schools rejecting difficult or disabled kids, and parents being refused permission to take children out of school.
But the NSW Department of Education said the only reason schools would oppose the targets, introduced under the new School Success Model (SSM), would be if they wanted a âless transparent and accountable education systemâ.
