Last week showed us the many talents and sportsmanship of our Waitākiri students with multiple athletic events to take part in.

Last Thursday was a mixed bag weather wise, interrupted with a good downpour late morning. This didn't deter our excited students who headed back out after the lunch break to continue with the schedule. Wearing waka colours students showed great sportsmanship and many showed their strong athletic skills. Our missed events from Thursday were run on Monday morning. Thank you to all our community supporters for coming out to cheer our children on.

Congratulations to the following students:
