We had an awesome time at our North West Zone Athletics event last Wednesday.

We took a massive squad of 65 students to compete at Ngā Puna Wai against a range of schools from the North West Zone. Our students showed the Merrin School Values all throughout the day with outstanding behaviour and sportsmanship. 

We now have another very strong squad of 17 that we will be taking to Centrals next Wednesday the 29th of November, to compete for a chance at being the best in Canterbury for their age group. 

A massive thank you to Alrina and Linda for coming down to help get our students ready for their events.
