Winter Tournament Week

In Week 6 of Term Three, two of our top sports teams competed in the Secondary Schools Winter Tournament Week. This is an annual event for Secondary Schools across the country.

The Senior A Netball Team competed at the Lower North Island Secondary School Netball Tournament held in Wanganui, and the 1st XI Girls Hockey Team competed in the Rosemary O'Brien Tournament hosted by Hockey Manawatu. Well done, girls! It is always pleasing to see students represent the College and themselves so well.

Speed Skating

On Friday, 26 August, two of our promising speed skaters, Sam Portch and Tuata-Nukingi Reweti-Migo, participated in a speed skating demonstration in front of the Prime Minister in Wanganui. The demonstration was part of a proposal to build a new international skating track and covered cycling velodrome for the region. Good stuff, boys!
