We officially sign off from Term 1 and what a whirlwind it has been!

Many of our students will continue to train for their respective codes over the next few weeks whether individually or as part of a team. Rest and recovery is a critical part of sport, this will compliment the quality of your hands-on training sessions. Nowadays this is as vital as the work you do itself.

We've had another very active few weeks signing up students for their Winter codes and good skills to those that are competing over this break and to those that are attending training camps whether that be locally or outside of the region.

Our Water Polo teams played their finals last night at Moana pool and both our Touch and Volleyball programmes have had recent resounding success with some of our teams totally dominating the local competitions.

I'm really looking forward to our Interschool programme in Term 2, seeing you out and about around the various venues.

Enjoy the break with your whānau, take time out to spend with each other, and the Sports Department look forward to seeing you when Term 2 kicks off.
