We have had 3 students who have recently been involved in Canterbury Athletics Championships.

Erica is off to Australia to compete in the Coast to Coast International Track and Field Champs held from 11-18th July on the Gold Coast. This sees athletes from NZ, Australia and America attend to compete. She will travel under the Christchurch team for this. We wish her all the best for this event. She is currently doing fundraising, so if you are after any baked good please get in touch with her to support her.
