Remuera Zone Athletics

Next Monday 29 November we are sending our representatives from Year 5 and 6 to Ericsson Stadium to compete against children from the twenty other schools in our zone.
The children compete in 60 metre, 80 metre and 100 metre sprints. There are year level relays as well as the field events long jump, high jump and ball throw.

Grasshopper Tennis

Many of our Year 3 and 4 students had their first Grasshopper Tennis coaching session today. Trying out our new set of tennis racquets, balls and nets under the guidance of Angela and her team of coaches these children had the first of four lessons.

Football

As I gazed out my window after school this afternoon I was delighted to witness just how many children were part of the Football Coaching. Each week the numbers have grown and to see so much action on the field on such a fine afternoon certainly made me realise we really are achieving our 'Better than Before' goal.
