The Tall Poppies are full-on into their training for Sports Camp and AIMs Games.

The Tall Poppies have been working hard as they train for Sports Camp. The first two terms involved a lot of work on skills, fitness and stamina. Term 3 has seen a shift to focussing on specific sports and the skills and teamwork required to play effectively together. Over the past few weeks they have added an element of competition with games in various sports against Pyes Pa, including basketball, touch rugby and soccer. This is enabling them to put all of the learning into practise! They have won all three games. Keep it up Tall Poppies! Roll on Sports Camp!

Special thanks to Nika Rikiriki and the parents who have supported him with transport and supervision. 

We also have a group of students who are preparing for the AIMs Games. These games are the biggest sporting event in NZ with competitors from all over New Zealand competing in a massive range of sports over a week. Tauriko School Tall Poppies has competitors in GymSports, Trampolining, Table Tennis and Cross Country.

Maree Logan oversees this group of students and we appreciate the time, effort and dedication that she puts in. Maree has certainly proven herself to be a talented and committed coach and we are lucky to have her!

Special thanks, once again, to the parents who help with transport, especially Kelly Bain who take a group to Argos Gym every week. This lovely lady doesn't even have a child in the team! This is an example of the amazing community we have.

Keep up the wonderful efforts, Tall Poppies!
