- Autumn is upon us, and seasons changing means only one thing in the Wellington Craft World. It's Knack time. Knack time being this saturday from 9.30am till 2.30pm at Berhampore School.

It's like double doing good, with shopping . Knack's full of lovely handmade things, and is often where some of Wellington's newests crafters make their selling debut, so it's a great market for those of you wanting to be ahead of the. There's loads of parking at the school or catch the bus and amble up the hill.

- 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.
