Our 9A and 10A Netball teams recently travelled to Christchurch for the Junior South Island Secondary Schools netball tournament.

The 9A team finished 21st and the 10A team finished 29th.

Sailing
Well done to Victoria Charles who was invited to travel to Rarotonga in the holidays as part of the annual NZTSA Rarotonga Winter Training Camp. The sailors had the opportunity to race the local Vaka boats instead of the usual Sunburst dinghies. Sailors from Kerikeri to Dunedin flew out to take advantage of this great opportunity.

Finishing 4th in this tournament qualified them to travel to Hungary to compete in the FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup where they finished 12th. Maia has also been invited to attend an NBA Basketball Without Borders Camp in Canberra in August. She is one of only three girls to be invited from New Zealand!
