To round off the inter-house competition for 2024, Friday of week 2 saw the fields turn into a rainbow of color as students ran, jumped, threw, and participated in multiple activities to gain house points for their house. Students participated in these rotations for 2 periods as a warm-up for the much-anticipated colour run!

A first for TGC, this year we participated in the NZ Fun Run Color Run. Generous donations were made towards this to support Homes for Hope and we are proud to be able to donate all money fundraised and prize won to them before Christmas time. 

Overall everyone had a great time and it was a fantastic send-off to our Year 13 students. A huge thank you to the House Spirit team for 2024
