On Wednesday 11 March, we have our first major school sports event for the year – Swimming Sports. We hope all students are able to take part either in the participation events or the finals as they earn points for their whānau with every event they participate in. Students and staff will be dressed up in their whānau colours showing their whānau spirit. It is always a great day of students giving things a go and ends with the hotly contested class, whānau and Staff vs Students relay. We welcome all our families to come along and support the Year 4-8 students in action. Please know it can get very loud!

Preliminary heats to determine the fastest six finalists have been held during class time. On Swimming Sports day, all full length races will be participation heats followed by the event final. Placings are awarded in the final only.
