St Paul's hosted the annual ANZAC Hockey Tournament during the school holidays. Hundreds of hockey enthusiasts from schools all over the North Island embarked on the campus to play some excellent hockey. 

The week was a positive start to the season with both the St Paul's Girls' First XI and Boys' First XI teams competing. St Paul's looked to test itself against some of the strongest hockey schools in the country and the platform was laid for the teams to grow competitively.
