Swimming Sports
Thank you to Mrs Souness for organising another successful swimming sports where there was good competition between the swimmers and good vocal crowd support. Thank you very much to the parents and students who helped with time keeping or doing other jobs which helped make the sports a success. The relays were closely contested and it was great to see Guzman come out on top for the first time in a number of years!!! Overall house points will be tallied and the house shield along with the swimming trophies will be presented at Kotuitui next Friday at 2.30 pm. Photos of the sports can be seen on another page on the blog. (Maybe the drought has gone for Guzman house !!!!)
