New Zealand Warriors visit Hoon Hay

Lucky Hoon Hay School had three of the NZ Warriors visit us on Friday 8th June.  Our Kapa Haka welcomed; Leivaha Pulu, Keanu Laumatia-Paki and Tevin Arona. The players delivered a great interactive programme with really cool messages for our children focusing on hydration, sleep and nutrition. They also gave out lots of Warriors merchandise. Our thanks to the Warriors for taking the time to stop at Hoon Hay School, and thanks also to Annette Radford for scooping the visit for us.    

Our Year 4 students, Paul F and Bronson H,  members of the Halswell Hornets team,  got to play in the curtain raiser at the Warriors vs Manley game on Saturday night.   Very exciting.  Check out the action photo below of Bronson.  

With the Crusaders visiting our school the week before, and now the Warriors, you just never know who you will get to meet at Hoon Hay School.
