Highlanders visit Junior Classes

Kia ora, Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Bula Vinaka, Ni Hao, Kia orana 

 

On Thursday, March 13th, the year 7 & 8 students had a special opportunity to have an hour-long session with some Highlanders. They had an amazing time playing team-building games and drills, they also got some free merchandise from the players!!

 

They started with some questions, followed by a passing drill and a game of Octopus.

 

Secondly, they had a close game of touch, with a score of 2-2, Man of the match goes to Jack Burke with a stunning intercept try!

 

Thirdly, they played kickball and once again it was a close match but bibs came out on top!

 

Finally, they played Rob the Nest, followed by a great game of Dodgeball, coming out as a tie for both teams.

 

They then got some signed merchandise and got great feedback from the Highlanders.
