The preliminaries day is Tuesday 16 and the finals day is Saturday 20 March.

Selections must be confirmed by next Tuesday with Mr Gamblin and all top 8 students and their parents / caregivers have been emailed details.

South Island Track & Field Championships

Due to the Covid-19 Level 3 lockdown in Auckland, the South Island Championships have been pushed out to the weekend after Easter and will now be held on the Friday afternoon/evening 9 April and all day on Saturday 10 April.

They are also at Nga Puna Wai and St Bede’s College is the host school.

Qualification for this event is usually by gaining a top five result at Canterbury Championships.
