During the school holidays our Senior A Netball Squad came together for a training camp and 2 games against Southland Girls, who travelled up. With the delay in the start of our season this was an important two days to get a lot of learning in and some game play before the team's first premier game on the 30th April. The Senior A team is a new team this year with 7 new players to the side. This pre season hit out and the first game last weekend, shows some great young talent coming through, so looking forward to the season ahead.

Hockey:

Our 1st and 2nd X1 Hockey teams travelled to Christchurch in the holidays to play an Anzac Tournament, competing against fantastic school teams from Christchurch. The competition was challenging, playing St Margarets, Villa, Rangi Ruru, Christchurch Girls and St Andrews. The girls showed determination and tenacity growing together in their teams. It was such a fantastic opportunity to start the girls 2022 hockey season together! Thank you so much to our coaches and parents who managed and supported our girls for this wonderful tournament.

Volleyball:  Congratulations to Chelsea Sinclair and Mya Haigh who were selected and played for Otago U17 team last weekend in Dunedin!
