The weather clears up for a day of running, jumping and throwing!
During PE in Terms 3 and 4, students have been exploring running, jumping and throwing. Their journey led them to the 2023 Senior Athletics Day to put their learning into action.
In an action-packed day of physical activities, students hustled and bustled through an array of athletic stations ranging from Sprints, Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put, Discus and of course Fun Events!
A thunderous round of applause is in order for every single student who stepped up to the challenge. Your monumental efforts and dazzling displays of athleticism were nothing short of spectacular. The energy around the field and turf was electrifying as students rallied behind each other, urging everyone to reach the pinnacle of their performance. What an exhilarating showcase of sportsmanship and skill!
Congratulations to House Rangitoto for winning the House Trophy (House points were awarded to 1st, 2nd & 3rd placings across all events). Well done to Nikau W, Rimu P and Rata L for winning the class relay challenge. A special well done for Rimu P who have won it four years in a row!
