Swimming Sports
We held our annual Swimming Sports on 10 and 12 February, with competitors bringing energy, enthusiasm, and their chant game! Kauri Whānau took out the girls’ event on Tuesday, and Mataī claimed the top position for the boys’ day – both backing up wins from last year. Talk about consistency!
Collectively, Kāuri had the most points over both days and are our 2026 Swimming Sports Champions. Ka pai tō mahi, Kauri!
