We had a really successful Athletics Day on Wednesday 23 March. Congratulations to Rangi who came first! The Junior School were split into boys and girls while they competed in their heats during the morning. While one lot competed the rest were having fun doing Tabloid Sports. Thank you to all the wonderful parents who came and supported us during the day!

Cricket Competition
The A and B Team competed in The Inter School Cricket Competition yesterday. The A Team beat Freyberg, Peninsula, and Glendene and were only beaten by an excellent Flanshaw side who went on to win the competition. The B Team got all the way to the B final and came within 4 runs of winning – Matthew Oxenham almost took a winning catch on an impossible ball on the penultimate delivery, couldn’t quite hold it. The B Team were the runners up on the day

Tirimoana Soccer Exchange
With the Soccer Field Day being cancelled we decided to challenge Tirimoana thinking that we would have been the top two schools on the day. Unfortunately Mr Bainbridge mucked up the draw so the two A teams ended up playing the two B teams. Therefore a re-match was held last week. The A team drew 1-1, Player of the Day: Sean Duggan and the B Team won 3-1, Player of the Day: Zach Vince.
