Here's a photo our winning team in the Language Perfect International Championships. Not only did three of them score an Elite Award, 16 of the team gained a Gold Award. They were also the winning team nationally AND internationally in the 1-50 entrant category! Well done team!
This was the regional round, where schools from Manawatu, Wanganui, and Hawkes Bay were represented.
Awatapu entered two teams into the competition with our team of Mosiah Igatia and Sarah Lewis winning the competition. Congratulations Mosiah and Sarah! Awatapu's other team won "best dressed', and three of our senior students were the officials who kept score and completed spreadsheets.
These students were outstanding and we are extremely proud of them all.
Congratulations to Awatapu's own Noah Macdermid who won the Year 9 3000m event at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross-Country Championship in Dunedin over the weekend.
Congratulations to Kara Macdermid who placed a close second in the Dome Cup Cross Country event in Wellington recently.
"The senior women's event saw a great race with internationally-ranked Nicky Hamblin, who had travelled from Cambridge to compete, had to call on all her experience to hold off a very determined challenge from Kara who led through the first 2km.
Hamblin crossed the line in 22m 08s for the 6km journey, pulling away over the final 2km to finish just ahead of Kara (22m 30s)".
