South Island Volleyball Tournament

by Debbie Nicolson

The Queen's Senior Volleyball tournament team had an amazing week at the Christchurch Satellite tournament playing schools from around the South Island. After tight pool play we missed out on our semi-finals by 1 point but we finished 3rd in our pool and 5th in our division! Not only did we bond with each other but we were also able to connect with other local schools. Everyone enjoyed their time and improved their skills! Thanks to Louise for coaching us.
