Inaugural Sports Exchange

Karen Palmer —

On Tuesday 25 June we hosted Waitaki Girls' High School for the first time.

We were excited to re-establish a winter sports exchange after a five year hiatus. Waitaki were welcomed with a Mihi Whakatau in the school hall. A range of sports were played including Netball at senior, intermediate and junior level, Basketball seniors and juniors, Hockey and Rugby 10’s. All games were played competitively and in good spirit. Waitaki won the exchange 19-9. Player of the matches were:

Senior Netball - Serena Evile

Intermediate Netball - Micaela Silan

Junior Netball - Monique Wiparata

Senior Basketball - Nicole Pendreigh

Junior Basketball - Ahe Tahuri

Rugby 10’s - Tesha Moore

Hockey - Zara Ward

We look forward to travelling to Oamaru next year and hope to also include Football, Badminton and Debating. Thank you to the umpires, referees and coaches,  parents and whanau for your support with this event.
