Winter Tournament was a busy week for all teams competing around New Zealand with great sporting moments from our students.

The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the Boys Football 1st XI winning the New Zealand championship title after beating Auckland Grammar 2-0 in the final in Taupo. We are also pleased that both the Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball teams have qualified for the National competitions in October.

There were a number of teams who performed well above their seedings and ended up placed higher than in previous years. Well done to all our students and a thank you for our great support from parents and all the team management and staff who travelled with these teams.
