Lunch-time Touch Victory

The first lunch-time sports competition saw The Sports Class in the final against Room 2.  It was a fantastic game with an abundance of skill and speed shown by all.  The final result saw us winning. The team was Brent Rowe, Joshua Rowlinson, Tiopira Soti, Reegan Robson-Tonga, Corey Joyce
-apickering, Montessa Tairakena, Bailey Rogerson, Kaly Harcourt, Lily Rouse and Kiara tried very hard to stay at school to play but unfortunately had to go home sick (Kiara played a huge role in the semi-final to see us win very narrowly over a very talented Room 8). Well done team .

The Sports Class showed their talent and superior fitness at last weeks school triathlon.   Half the class enterd in teams and the individual event.
