Swimming North Harbour Champs

Congratulations to our swimmers who competed in the recent North Harbour Championships at the Millennium Pool in Albany.  Highlights include a 4^th place finish for Kieran Pangalila in the 50m Junior Boys' Backstroke.  Sarah Haggerty also had a very successful day with a 1^st place in the Senior Girls 50m Butterfly, a 3^rd in 50m Backstroke and two 4^th placings.  Her brother, Sam Haggerty, also placed 1^st in the Intermediate Boys' 50m Freestyle.

Golf

The golfers got their season underway last week but unfortunately faced a strong side from Massey High School.  The results were not in our favour but hopes are high for greater performance in the next match against Rosmini at the Peninsula Golf Course.

Football Success

Congratulations to Rose and Jacqui Gatfield-Jeffries who have both been selected to join the Northern Football Federation 14th grade girls' football development squad. This squad of 20 girls is the equivalent of the North Harbour Rep team. Rose has now been selected in the NFF age group development squad each year since 2011.  Jacqui has again been selected after being in the squad in 2011 and 2012.

Rowers

It was great to see our rowers working together so well in the sun and wind at Lake Pupuke last Saturday. It was a pleasure to watch their high level of skills and their camaraderie.  Mr Lee, Deputy Principal
