Team Explorer Athletics

Justine Reihana —

We had a really successful athletics day!

Team Explorer had our athletics day on Friday and a great day was had by all. A big thank you to our parent helpers. We really appreciate you giving up your valuable time to help our students particularly when it means you don't get to see your own children compete. We could not run these events without you. Thank you to Al and the teachers for all their help and support, before, during and after the event. You've been working hard for weeks and it's been appreciated.

Well done Team Explorer for exemplary behaviour. Congratulations to all the place getters. Below are the following results:
