Year 5 and 6 Kiwisport

On Tuesday the Year 5 and 6 teams went to the Kiwisport competition at Hillsborough school. They competed against the other schools in many sports including T-Ball, non-stop cricket, water relay and football. They competed really well and Halsey Drive 2 came 1st Place overall. The school team also went through to the semi finals in the Tug of war. Congratulations to all the students who took part and a huge thank you to the mums who came along and supported us!

National championship Gymnastics - Caleb

Congratulations to Caleb in Year 6 who represented Auckland in the level 4 Men’s Artistic Gymnastic at the 2016 NZ Gymsports National Championship in Invercargill during the holidays. 

Out of 48 individuals competing from around NZ, Caleb came 3^rd Equal on Pommel and his Auckland Team came 2^nd.   This meant he qualified for the day two event, in which he came 12th overall in the all around finals. A fantastic result!!

Sounds like Caleb had a fantastic time and gained some valuable experience, while also rubbing shoulders with a range of successful NZ athletes including Rio Olympic trampolinist Dylan Schmidt and Commonwealth games Bronze medalist David Bishop as well as the Mayor of Invercargill Tim Shadbolt.

Congratulations to Prianka in Year 4 on her selection for the Three Kings United 9th Grade team. After a 3 day tournament, despite the rain, her team were the 9th Grade girls Plate Champions! 

An awesome achievement, well done Prianka!
