Our junior athletes were celebrated at a special ceremony held on Wednesday 26 November.

Congratulations to all of the nominees and winners at the Junior Sports Awards this year. The official ceremony took place in Gym 1 with junior students, staff and whānau watching on as prize winners were announced and applauded.
