Success at the Otago Maori Men's Golf Tournament for Tahuna student Kai Koni

A couple of weekends ago I played in the Otago Maori Men's Golf Tournament at St Clair. I played one round of 18 holes and shot 80 off the mens tees I came first overall and won an amazing trophy. This is the first time a school pupil has won. This weekend I'm playing in another competition and hope to have another great round.

Music

The year has started off with a bang in the music room where the year 8 African Drumming unit is a hit with most students, if not with the administration in the offices across from us.
