Term 4, Week 1: Athletics

The annual school athletics day took place a little earlier this year.  With work being done to Waitakere Stadium, the venue was switched to Mount Smart Stadium. The school was very fortunate: the one day this week to have warm, sunny weather turned out to be athletics day!

Here are some photos of students in action:
