Police Physical Competency Test (PCT)

Year 7/8 Success - PCT 

On Friday 13th March, 8 of our best Year 7/8 athletes competed at the Christchurch Physical Competency Test.  They spent the day participating in a variety of activities: Zumba, martial arts, soccer skills, rugby skills with former All Black Nathan Mauger, and the much anticipated timed Physical Competency Test (the same test that the police do as part of their entrance test).  

From a total of 78 teams, St Martins Team 1, consisting of Lauren, Holly, Torian and Jake came in 6th place.  St Martins Team 2, consisting of Amelia, Alice, Louie and Louis qualified 5th fastest and made it through to place-offs.  They improved their heat time by a whopping 16 seconds, resulting in a final standing of 4th place - 2 seconds off qualifying for nationals at Police College.  To top off a fantastic day of achievement, Torian was clocked at 26km/hr by the police laser - 1km/hr off the record for the day.  Go St Martins!
