Kia ora,
As we reach the halfway point of the school year, 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. Sport here at Torbay would not be possible without you. All your time and effort is always greatly appreciated.
Splash Polo: Ka Pai to all of our tamariki who have been battling it out in the pool over the last term! A special mention goes to our Torbay Kina & Torbay Ika who won their division last weekend! Torbay Kina also went a whole season undefeated!
