As we look forward to the pinnacle in College Sport for our seniors, representing their school at the National Summer Tournament this coming week, we are reflecting on the successful build up they have had to get there. Thanks again to our Sports Team at Onslow – Javed and Gemma, and the many staff/parents/friends/caregivers and supporters who have fundraised and transported our students here, there and everywhere this term.
All the best to our teams heading around the motu to compete, we have Volleyball in Palmy (Palmerston North), Futsal at Ākau Tangi (Wellington), Ultimate Frisbee in Tāupo, Cricket (Boys) in Trentham, Cricket (Girls) in Petone, Rowing at the Maadi Cup in Twizel, and Adventure Racing in both the Rangitikei River and Taranaki.
We will report on results, with pictures, through our social pages during the week!
