🏉 Awesome to host Otumoetai Primary today for some pre-season 7s rugby as they prepare for their Sevens Tournament next term! The vibes around the school were awesome, with so many classes coming out to cheer on the players and create a fantastic atmosphere. It was great to see our school community getting behind the teams and celebrating the game together. The day was a great example of Whanaungatanga (Connectedness), building strong relationships across our school communities, while also showing Kia Maia (Courage) as players backed themselves, took on challenges, and gave everything a go. A huge thanks to Otumoetai Primary for making the trip over.

From first at the school Cross Country, to 1st at the Papamoa Cluster Cross Country, 3rd at the WBOP Cross Country, and today 🥇 Gold at the Bay of Plenty Primary Schools Cross Country Championships against the very best runners from across the Eastern, Central and Western BOP! What an incredible journey and an outstanding achievement. We are so incredibly proud of you, Yasmine. Your hard work, determination, and perseverance have truly paid off. Congratulations on an amazing cross country season.
