Our Year 7/8 teams are currently participating in the Canterbury Koru Games. Our basketball team started the 3 competiton with a clean sweep yesterday. Our football team had 2 wins, a draw, and 1 loss. Our touch team had 2 wins, 1 loss. Well done to these teams and a big thank you to our teachers and parents who are coaching and supporting these teams.
It was a shame that both dates for our Year 8 ski trip to Mt Hutt saw the skifield closed. Thank you to the staff and whanau for your flexibility around being available to attend this event - sad to see the weather win this time!
