Although they have not managed to win many games this season, the Poverty Bay Women's Indoor Basketball representative team has been very close, being only narrowly beaten on many occasions. For a fairly new team they have been doing very well outside the district, their most successful outing being runners-up in the North Island B grade championships.

Back row: Dianne Amor, Pauline Murphy, Elaine Anderson (captain), Mina Newcomb, Denise Farmer and Dianne Brodie.

In the Australian Rotary Captain Cook Art Competition (open to all pupils of schools in the countries Captain Cook visited), three pupils of the Ilminster Intermediate School had their paintings accepted for the travelling exhibition.
