Students Score Big at Taekwondo NZ Nationals

Aquinas College —

We’re celebrating the achievements of Aquinas’ three national martial arts medalists.

Joshua Oficial (Y11), Jaythen Bag-ayan (Y8) and Jared Ogayan (Y7) all brought home silverware from the 2022 Taekwondo New Zealand Open in Auckland this month. Joshua won gold in the junior blackbelt Poomsae division; Jaythen received silver in the grade 2-1 red belt (Under 40kg) sparring division, and Jared secured gold in the grade 2-1 red belt and blackbelt (Under 40kg) sparring category. Incredible results boys!
