Congratulations
Last weekend a huge number of our children were involved in the Performing Arts Festival where a large number of them receiving cups, ribbons and trophies for their efforts. They participated in dancing, recitals and different variation of speech.  Well done to all of you.  Also our rugby boys competed for the New Zealand Marist Pompallier Trophy which was held in Timaru.  We did extremely well with 4 trophies coming home with us.  Not too bad for our first time competing at this tournament.  A further report is included in the blog.

Vince Vidallon, Cushla Bridges, Cameron Mather, Rhea Ratgali and Molly Whittaker compete in the 'Character Recital in Costume' section.
