Kia ora,
As we reach the halfway point of term 4 we look back on what our tamariki have been up to in their respective sports. As always a big thank you to all of our coaches and managers, sports here at Torbay would not be possible without you.
Swimming: On November 1st, Sienna S, Barry E, Jagger C, and Benji B participated in the North Shore Swimming Primary School Championships. All of them did an amazing job as they scored points and got personal bests in their selected events. Both Sienna and Barry picked up 3rd place in their 25 metre freestyle. Ka pai!
Basketball: Good luck to all of our little league, miniball, and basketball teams for the rest of the season. Not only has it been great to see our teams in action, but to see our teams competing against each other. Keep up the great work!
Sambo: The Badenhorst duo of Luke & Lyla pick up gold medals in their respected age groups at New Zealand National Sambo Championships. Sambo is a form of martial arts. Amazing work Luke & Lyla! Due to Lyla’s achievements, she was selected as a Defender of Tomorrow and got to be a mascot at the Rugby World Cup Semi Final between New Zealand and France. What an amazing opportunity!
Jump Jam: It was with great pride that the Jump Jam Royals performed at Nationals in Tauranga over the weekend. They did an amazing job with performing their routine, and placed 4th in the North Island. All of the hard work, training and refining of their routine really paid off and they were amazing! Congratulations team!
Senior Athletics: On Monday, November 14th, we held our senior athletics for the first time in 2 years. It was great to see all of our senior tamariki running, throwing, and jumping in the sun. A big thank you to all of our senior staff and parents for their involvement, it couldn’t have been possible without your help. Please see the results below.
