Another very successful Athletics day was held on Friday 23 February 2024 at Athletic Park. It was great to see the turnout of students all dressed in their house colours and a high level of participation from our juniors. With various championship and non-championship events, everyone got involved and enjoyed the day. It was great seeing the competitive spirit from both students and teachers during events like house relays – with everyone surrounding the finish line cheering on their house. A huge congratulations to those who excelled in their chosen events.

It was another perfect day for the annual “Great Race” on Friday 3 May 2024 as students and staff took to the hills to run (or walk!) the 3 km course at the Wither Hills Farm Park.

In the highly contested House competition, students and staff earn points by competing in the run or walk. Each House also receives points for the top 3 finishers and top 6 finishers in each age group, as well as house spirit and tidiness of areas.

Coming out on top was Wairau with 352 points. Placing second was Kaituna with 295 points. They were followed by Awatere with 291 points and Opoa with 281 points.

Congratulations to all our competitors and thanks to everybody else who participated and supported our rangatahi on the day.
