Last week 18 Year 5 and 6 students and 17 Year 7 and 8 students took part in the Parumoana Swimming Competition against other schools in our Sports Cluster.

Papakōwhai students were fantastic at showing support to one another throughout the events and swam to win!

Both our teams placed 1st, bringing back the Parumoana Swimming trophies for the fourth year and fifth year, respectively, in a row. Very impressive!

Congratulations to all our swimmers. Everyone is very proud of you.
