Athletics and Summer Tournament

Our House Relay afternoon was dominated by some outstanding performances from Kowhai!
Whero were the most consistent and got an award for some ingenuity!
WE held a champions sprint race over 80m. We assembled the ten fastest runners in the School  - across age groups and gender - the top 3 places went to: 1st by a whisker (or a head dip) was 12 year old Ben Hall, followed ever so closely by another 12 year olf. Tom Pascoe. In 3rd place was 11 year old Molly Snowden!


Congratulations to all the fernside Studentswho competed in the Rakahuri Zone sports - you were fantastic!
Please go the athletics page on the right for the full results for that event. Many chn will represent the zone at the Cant athletics on 1 Dec. More details will be posted as they arrive.
It is important that those athletes continue to maintain or improve fitness levels and practise regularly.

All year 7/8 students will participate in the Cant. School summer tournament on 23 Nov. WE are playing golf, tennis, kiwi tag and slow pitch. Are you able to ref slowpitch softball or kiwi tag for us?

School Athletics Day happened!
Thanks everyone for your efforts and fab attitude!
The overall winners for each age group are on the athletics page.
The 11 and 12 year old results depended on the turbojav activity which was held on Friday afternoon. The athletes were doing some quick calculations as they went into the event. Talk about pressure!
