School Holiday Sport Competitions

Netball

Our Year 9 & 10A Netball teams participated in the Junior South Island Netball Championships during the first week of the holidays. Both teams had a great tournament and put 110% out on court. Our year 9's had a good start winning 3 of the 5 round games, after a couple of hard finals, the team finished 11th, having beat Wakatipu 26-17.

The Year 10's won all their round games and fought hard over the finals games, they lost their quarter final against Waimea by 2!! A hard last game versus Rangiora saw the team finish 6th. A great achievement for all involved.

Swimming

During the second week of the break, Sophie and Anna Hutchens headed north to swim in the NZSS Swimming Championships.  Both girls swam well, making new PB times. Anna swam a PB in the 50 free, 50 Back and 100 free. Sophie got a PB in the 100 free as well, and was right on her best time in the 200 IM and the 50 Backstroke.
