70 students, staff, coaches and supporters travelled to Whanganui to take part in our annual exchange. It was excellent to get away to this exchange, after a couple of years absence due to COVID restrictions. One of the most anticipated events on the school calendar, we fielded teams in the following codes - year 9 / 10 and senior netball, year 9 / 10 and senior basketball, senior girls volleyball, senior mixed football and U15 girls rugby and boys rippa. All games were played in great spirit, ending with Ōtaki College retaining the Whanganui Exchange Shield for 2023. We would like to thank Whanaganui for their manaakitanga and look forward to hosting the event in 2024.
