Information and Updates.

WATER POLO

Congratulation to the Senior A Water Polo team who finished in 8th place at the National Tournament in Auckland at the start of the holidays. Last year they finished 14th so this is a great improvement and also taking into consideration how tough it is to compete against North Island schools where they have their own covered water polo pools and practice every day!

Well done boys.
