ADDITIONAL UPDATES FROM PRIMARY SPORT CANTERBURY:
The purpose of weekly sport is to give all interested young people a chance to play sport against others in our region. The enjoyment of all is of most importance to us and if this means having to alter games to accommodate differing abilities then please take the initiative and do this.
We had an amazing day at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre for the 2024 inter-school champs. All athletes involved in the day truly gave each race their best effort. They showed school pride, sportsmanship and perseverance. The day would not have been possible without the amazing efforts of Mrs Paula Dore for supporting with marshalling and team managing and our whānau help from Rebecca, Nicki, and Madlen. Thank you again for all of your work.

Our athletes treated everyone with respect, competed with exemplary sportsmanship and showed growth and improvements over the three days. We hope that everyone who competed walked away feeling proud of themselves and that some lifelong memories have been made.
We would like to extend our thanks to our fantastic coaches and staff who supported us over the three days, as well as running practices in the weeks leading up to the tournament, our volunteer officials from Christchurch Boys High and community sports groups who refereed countless games over the three days, and the organisers from the Selwyn Sports Trust for organising such a fabulous event.

Congratulations to all our competitors with particular note for:-
Girls Netball Silver medalists
Mixed Hockey Gold Medalists
