West Zone Athletic Sports

On Thursday 17 November, a group of very sporty students went to compete in the West Zone Athletics Competition to represent Wigram Primary School.

They had a great day competing against the other schools in the area, watching and supporting each other.  Thank you to the parents who supported us and helped with transport to the venue. 

Congratulations to all of the students for their great attitude and efforts on the day. They all did us proud. Ka Pai! An even bigger congratulations to the following children who placed in the top 4 in their events.
