WHENUAKITE RED PANTHERS

The girls won 2 of their 3 games at the Whangamata Tournament! It was really exciting as we finally worked out where everyone should be on the court. Charlotte got 10 goals and L'Shae did really well at GK. The girls once again played really at Coromandel against Manaia. Unfortunately they didn't win but had some great combinations & intercepts. Charlotte got another 4 goals. Thanks to Katey D for helping Manaia out.

Player of the Day:L'Shae

Best & Fairest:Charlotte

We are playing at MBAS at 9.00am on Saturday & practice on Thursday as usual. Mary

Winter Sports- Coroglen, Te Rerenga and Whenuakite Year 4-8 children were wonderful onFriday. The weather was a mixed bag with showers, wind and sunshine. The teams accepted that winter sports often come with cold wet condition and rose above it to produce some phenomenal games. Team spirit was high and we were very proud of all the competitors. The parents and friends watching were impressed by the skill level and fitness of the teams.

The inside games were amazing with one group scoring the same points. This demonstrates how close the competition was.

Thanks to the referees, umpires, team managers, teachers, and supporters

.

Thanks also to Jamie Marsden and his team who have once again organised a fabulous event.

Special thanks to Kerri for inspiring the students to give their best, especially in the netball.

The games were all very competitive.

Holidays: The holidays begin this Friday at 3pm. School will reopen on the 1^st of August.

Have a happy and healthy holiday. We look forward to seeing you all back next term.
