George Debenham is one of our Year 7 teachers and we were very excited when his Football Shirt arrived this week to be added to the collection of shirts in the Events Centre foyer. George played for the New Zealand Under 20's Football Team in 2016. He went to Vanuatu in September of 2016 to represent New Zealand against other Pacific Island teams in the Oceania World Cup Championship, where the winners and runners-up qualified for the Under 20 World Cup. He made 3 caps against Tahiti, New Caledonia and Solomon Islands. 

Senior 1 Netball 

What a final, the support we got was amazing. Thank you to all those who came out to cheer us on.
KingsWay was leading for the full game and with 3 minutes to go, when Rangitoto College drew. With 30 seconds to go Rangitoto took the lead for the first time by 1 point and that is where the game finished 24-25. The girls would like to thank all those that came down to support, the atmosphere was electric.
