Wacky and Wonderful Wig Wednesday

Supported by the Otago Hockey Association, primary school hockey teams were encouraged to wear a wig on Wednesday to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation. A great initiative, not to mention a great success, with $497 raised for the Otago-Southland Branch of the Child Cancer Foundation.

Squash Otago Secondary Schools Competition

Otago Squash ran a regional tournament on the last Friday of Winter Sport's week, as a local initiative in this year that has been significantly shaped by Covid-19. Columba College had a team of three Year 8 Squash players enter, and we are extremely proud of their efforts.
