The school had a fantastic day on Tuesday 25 February at Nga Puna Wai.

A cloudy, calm day greeted us all; perfect for competitors and spectators alike. As the day progressed the sun came out which was a bonus.

The day provided an opportunity for our competitive athletes to showcase their talent to the school. There were some fantastic events, both on field and on the track. A record was broken by Alice Fissenden in the Under 15 200 metres; this was a record that had been set in 1970! Congratulations Alice!

The day at Nga Puna Wai was very colourful with many students choosing to dress up in House Colours and then participate in the House events.

The SHE committee took the opportunity to add tabloid events on the grass area behind the stand. These events were House based and included activities such as tug of war and sack races. It also enabled many students to be involved throughout the day and have lots of fun.
