    • Year 12 Shakespearean Monologues
      • Wednesday 31 April 2010:  "To be or not to be"  was an often heard phrase as Year 12 English students presented their own renditions of well known monologues from Hamlet, Macbeth and Letters from World War I as part of their assessment for NCEA English Standard 2.7. For their two minutes of fame they needed to be in character and interpret those immortal lines in their own inimitable way.

    • First XI Cricket beats St Bede's in Cliffhanger
      • Tuesday 16 March 2010: In a cliffhanger ending, the First XI Cricket team has beaten St Bede's of Christchurch to bring home the Cup. Stream had to win outright to regain the trophy while St Bede's only had to bat out the day for a draw.  Declaring early on Day Three after a knock of 101 by Ben Rammell, captain Brandon Tai set St Bede's a target of 280 to win: and a target for his own team of getting all ten wickets! At 5.15 pm this afternoon, the last wicket fell and Stream had won. A fantastic performance by the whole team. The Tennis team played earlier in the day against a strong St Bede's team, eventually losing the series.

    • St Patrick's Day at Stream 2010
      • Wednesday 17 March 2010: A mix of culture, athleticism, music and sprituality came together at Stream today as we celebrated St Patrick's Day. Liturgies for Junior and Senior students retold the story of St Patrick and his mission in Ireland with song by the Pasifika Choir. Cross country runs warmed the blood on a brisk Silverstream day, with Fletcher Greaves (Year 9 Patrick), Steven Boyle (Year 10 Patrick), Ben Phillips (Year 11 Marist) and Shaun Smith (Year 12 Marist) taking the titles.

They were runners up to Upper Hutt, who clearly out -classed all the other schools, but won the real battle for second place with a really determined effort.
