Rugby / 7's - Thank you to the boys and girls wishing to play this year and registering their interest with Matua Tuari. Unfortunately the NRU has moved the event to October. 1st XV Pre-Season training will get underway with Boys on Wednesday after school from 3:30 - 4:30 and Girls on Thursdays after school, 3:30 - 4:30.
Jr Boys Futsal (Indoor Soccer): The team will be competing in the Northland Secondary School Y9 & 10 Finals this Tuesday 3 March in Whangarei at Kensington Stadium.
Sr Mixed Touch: Training this week is Monday and Friday lunch on the far end of the rugby field. The competition is coming up fast on Friday 13 March.
ATHLETICS DAY: The weather was ideal for much of the morning before the heavens opened up around late morning forcing the cancellation of the remaining High Jump events and the 800 metres races so it was early lunch! Fortunately, the sun made it's appearance and we were able to carry on with the afternoon's events. On Monday 2 March, students will have the opportunity to run the 3000 metres for additional House Points and efforts will be made to offer High Jump for our competitive jumpers only. Once those results have been verified, the Division and Overall House champions and Individual champion results will be posted here.
Other sports coming up in Term 1 include Mountain Biking, Speed Golf, Bowls Pairs, Golf Croquet and Stand Up Paddleboarding.
