Last Saturday, Prebbleton had 3 teams competing at the South Island finals, where we cleaned up and restocked the school trophy cabinet!

A huge amount of hard work, practice, dedication, and effort has been on display over the past 2 terms. For this competition, the teams all had to include choreography and formation changes, vocal chants, calls, singing and wear costumes. A huge ka pai to the following teams and students who should be very very proud of their effort, I know your coaches are!
