The annual Colour Run was an absolute blast! What began as a sea of clean shirts soon turned into a kaleidoscope of colours as our students, joined by local primary school students, embraced the chaos. With paint flying, smiles beaming, and the fire truck adding an extra splash, it was a day of colourful exhilaration! Thank you to everyone who participated and donated to this day, it was a brilliant way to end the term.

New Zealand Under 17 Harlequins players Liam Inman, Nate Bodle, and Will Hadley played in a series of games against regional teams with wins against Northland 41-12, Thames Valley 48-14, and King Country 27-17.
Lucca Lim, (Year 12), recently made an impressive mark in the world of football when he played for Melville United Men's First team in the national Chatham Cup Final against Christchurch United Men's First team.
The match lasted over two hours with both teams fiercely competing. Lucca played the entire 132-minute game. In a pivotal moment during the match, Lucca managed to score an outstanding goal (watch here), when Melville was trailing 2-0 in the second half. While the game ultimately ended in a penalty shootout loss for Melville, Lucca's performance in the Chatham Cup Final is a commendable accomplishment for a young Year 12 student.
Mr Mike Rameka has been appointed as Head Coach of the Northern Districts Wāhine Cricket Team to play at the inaugural National Wāhine Māori Tournament in Hastings in October.
