Boys’ High Quinn Clinton MVP and he meets the game’s greats • By Gordon Findlater CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High basketballer Quinn Clinton, has been named the most valuable player at the weekend’s Basketball Without Borders All-Star Game. Clinton was presented with the award in the presence of some NBA greats. Two-time NBA Championship winner and 1995 NBA MVP David Robinson headlined the four-day-camp. Robinson is ranked amongst some of the greatest big men to ever play the game. Robinson was joined at the camp by a fellow member of the 2003 championship winning San Antonio Spurs, Bruce Bowen. The three-time championship winner is rated as one of the greatest defenders of his time. He made five NBA All-Defensive first teams from 2004-2008. • By Gordon Findlater BURNSIDE HIGH School rugby player Perry Karati brought up a rare milestone on Saturday, playing his 50th match for the school’s first XV. Karati (right) accomplished the feat against Waimea Combined in Nelson. Burnside lost the game 12-15. He joins captain Cam Russel Clinton was one of five Kiwis to attend the camp in Melbourne. Less than 50 of the top 16 to 18-year-olds are invited to attend the Asia region camp. It was a bright week for New Zealand players, fellow Kiwi Sam Waardenburg was awarded the four-day-camp MVP award. There’s no rest for Clinton who now returns home to represent CBHS in the Thompson Trophy secondary school competition. Clinton has been a stand-out performer for his school and last week recorded 12 points, 12 assists, nine rebounds, six steals and a block, in a top of the table clash with Cashmere High School. Clinton and his CBHS side will host Papanui High School tonight. Tip-off is at 6pm. Burnside player reaches 50th match as just the second active player in the Burnside team to bring up 50 games.

The first challenge for term one was to use the project plan for the school’s STEM project as a basis to design a Year 11 Digital Technologies course that met the individual needs of the students, curriculum delivery requirements and NCEA assessment requirements. It’s a popular course, with enthusiasm for it fuelled by the work students do in this learning area in the junior school. The students opting for this course have a range of skills and abilities. Individual courses were designed to establish the base skills needed to begin the construction, and programming of the electronic system that will measure, record and display weather data. The main emphasis for the first term was to establish a suitable level of coding skills in all the students. The learning progress has enabled all students to be in a position to participate directly in the coding of the electronic recording system for the Weather Stations. Some students are operating at the higher skill level and they will write the code to drive the dynamic data driven website that will display the data. These students will be assessed against Level 2 NCEA standards. Electronic systems have been the focus of learning and assessment this term. Arduino boards have been used to construct small to medium sized projects. These projects enable students to understand the electronic componentry needed in the construction of the weather stations.
