Sumner Residences Had an Active Year in 2024

One of the students' favourites was surfing, an incredible day that all involved would love to repeat.

Students also went blo-karting, drift-biking, go-karting, swimming, and walking and played mini and disc golf.

Residential students got to go to Hanmer Springs Hot Pools for a day.

Students have taken part in many competitions throughout the year. Term 1 students played in the Sumner touch rugby tournament every Wednesday night; in Term 2, all students played indoor netball weekly; and in Term 3, the students were involved with indoor soccer.

During evenings and weekends, the students had competitions in Table Tennis, Pool, Darts, Minute Challenges and a firm favourite soon to be repeated, the Master Chef competition. 

Lots of games on the field, tee-ball and soccer, but Rummikub remains the most played board game; Just Dance is the most popular electronic game. 

From time to time, we were fortunate to be able to use the common room set up at the beginning of this year, especially with a table tennis and pool table installed.

Early in the year, we were fortunate to have fun with archery every week for five weeks. It was a little more challenging than we expected, but it was an experience we greatly valued.
