Sports and House Competitions

The year has started with many summer sports well into their seasons and moving towards preparation for the National Summer Tournaments held around the motu between 24-28 March.

Cricket kicked off our Super 8 Schools calendar with impressive individual and team performances to finish 5th and now vying for a place in the Premier Gillette Cup Competition.

Golf had an impressive win at their recent Super 8 Tournament, winning by 5 shots.

Congratulations to Kopa Manahi, Rhys Elliot, Finley Gibson, and George Hiini for representing our kura well at the Super 8 Tennis Tournament, a sport we have not had representation for a number of years.
