Intermediate Summer Sports Tournament

Pip Day —

Our annual intermediate schools summer tournament (or should we call it autumn tournament due to the changeable weather) was back on this year after being cancelled last year due to 'you know what.'

Māpua students once again did themselves proud demonstrating excellent teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play at the summer sports tournament in Motueka.    Our 93 kids were split into mixed teams of 8 to play against other schools in volleyball, ultimate frisbee and touch rugby (although this was changed to dodgeball due to the wet grass).  The four intermediate teachers were super impressed with each team as they were able to self manage and organise themselves throughout the day.  A little bit of rain was not going to dampen our spirits!  It was great that we were able to have some parents come along to support and assist when needed.  We are always very grateful to the families who are able to help us out with transport and management.
