House Rippa Rugby Tournament

Our annual House Rippa Rugby tournament will be held on Thursday 23rd March at 1.30 pm at school.  The Yr 8 students will be organising this tournament where each house will compete against each other for house points.  

The junior teams are from Yrs 1-4 and the seniors from Yrs 5-8.  If you have any props in the colour of your house, you are welcome to bring them to show your house support as the whole school will be watching and supporting their houses.  You can bring tutus, glasses, hats etc.

Remember, the house with the most points at the end of each term will receive a prize.  Parents and whanau are most welcome to come along to support.
