We love to hear of successes from our Wairakei School family. Please let us know of any more so we can share - just as we are here. Read on!

Preston had an amazing season. A shy timid player last year who didn't score a try, to this year a completely different player. He came out of his shell and he was everywhere on the field. He was one of our best tacklers and scored 12 tries for the season. This didn't go unnoticed and was awarded Most Improved Player. He absolutely loves the game. And wants to be a Highlander then an All Black when he grows up.

Cooper had his first year at Ripper rugby. There was no stopping him! One of the best rippers and he scored 56 tries for his team this season, the highest try scorer. Such a humble player and he can't wait to get into tackle next year. He is so ready for it. He will be a forward and Preston will be a back.
