It was a scorcher of a day at the CAIMS Athletic Champs, which were held at Ngā Puna Wai on Thursday 23 November. 

A strong team of 47 Wairarapa Cobham students competed in this event and it was a hugely successful day for our students. We have been blown away by the outstanding results achieved - it has been a stand-out year for results! Congratulations to everyone who completed, and in particular, to those who achieved a personal best and/or placing. 

In addition to the results, we were also extremely impressed with the way our Cobham students represented the school both on and off the track throughout the day. Congratulations to all the students for having a wonderful attitude and for making it a great day to be a part of.
