On Tuesday the 9 of Feb, Miss Trainor ran an adapted PCT challenge for our year 7 and 8 students to compete in. Children with the the top 4 times were picked so we can enter a school team for the PCT challenge being held in Timaru in early March. The children had loads of fun running, climbing, pushing, carrying, crawling and jumping.
