Water Polo Tournament
Our Year 7/8 water polo team competed in a 3-day tournament at Jellie Park. What's more... some of these kids had not long finished a Canterbury football tournament. Geez... talk about some energy! I think that some parents will have some very tired kids tonight!
Mr P and I really enjoyed spending time with such an awesome group of talented, enthusiastic, positive and polite kids.
The team consisted of:
Rosie
Lauren
Amelia
Lily S.
Holly R.
Amy
Finn
Finn made a brilliant debut! What a strong player! Thanks Nicole for filling in - you were brilliant!
The team didn't place in the end, but it wasn't for a lack of strong goalie efforts by Holly and Amelia, and some solid goal attempts by Lauren, Lily, Rosie and Amy. Such a pleasure to see you guys grow in confidence and skills over the 3 days!
Cross Country Regionals
We are so proud of Chloe and Leila who competed in the Cross Country Regionals at the end of last term. They put in months of training and travelled to Blenheim for the big race. Leila came in 6th after a good race, and Chloe placed 19th out of 32 runners (after unfortunately taking a wrong turn). To compete at such a high level is a testament to their commitment to training and sheer determination. We are so lucky to have you in the Pateman Pod.
Chloe has also recently been selected by her hockey club to warm down with the NZ Black Sticks. What a treat!
