Thirty students represented Roncalli, and everyone competed well, 6 x 1st, 15 x 2nd and 6 x 3rd

The Aoraki SS Athletics Championships were held on Wednesday 14th March at Aorangi Park All Weather Track. Thirty students represented Roncalli, and everyone competed well, 6 x 1st, 15 x 2nd and 6 x 3rd

Thank you to Rachel Hicks who assisted Richelle Cannell on the day with the large team of athletes. Jan Gibbs, Jose Zandbergen and year 13 student Bridey Flynn for officiating, without these volunteers the organisers would be unable to host such a successful day. Roncalli was host school this year and huge thank you to Carolyn Fuller and her team of helpers who prepared and served morning tea for the managers and officials.
