Winter tournament was a busy week for our TGC teams and individuals. We had 7 teams competing throughout the week in various tournaments around the North Island. Our students represented the school proudly and showed great determination and gave it their all in their sports. Well done to all those involved and to the coaches, managers, teachers in charge and parents who helped make the week possible.
