Congratulations to Caitlin Black for achieving her Black Belt in Karate. Caitlin has been studying and practising Karate for the last 10 years and initially was interested in developing self-confidence and the ability to defend herself. She has represented NZ in Under 21 Samurai Karate in the past. 

Our Curling team is enjoying the secondary schools' competition and is currently in the top six with finals in August. The team are being coached by Simon Noble who runs secondary school curling. He has been very impressed with our students' attitude and talent!
