All our tournament teams have returned home safely after what was a massive week away at winter tournament week. There was incredible competition and memorable moments.

Football – Boys

Our 1st XI boys had an outstanding run in Whangārei at the Rex Dawkins Tournament, going through the week undefeated. In the semifinal they won in a penalty shootout 5–3, before facing Rosmini College in the final. Jordan Breen sealed the deal with the winning goal, crowning our boys as tournament champions! Huge congratulations to the team, Coach Mr. Gary Moore, and Manager Mr. Hamish Mackay.

Football – Girls

The 1st XI girls also had an impressive tournament, fighting their way into the semifinals before narrowly missing out on a place in the final. They finished fourth overall – an exceptional achievement for the squad.

Football – Junior Boys

Our junior boys put in some excellent performances in Tauranga at the Hillsdene Junior Tournament, coming away with fantastic wins and showing just how much talent is coming through the ranks.

UNISS Netball

Competing at the Auckland Association in the UNISS Netball Competition, our girls played in the B Grade preforming so well that they’ve earned promotion to the A Grade for 2026 – a huge step forward! Tournament selectors also named the top 16 players across all grades, and we’re proud to announce that Dyllan Fakalata was chosen. Congratulations Dyllan. 

Hockey- Girls 

Our girls’ hockey team travelled to Tauranga, taking on some of the strong opponents in their grade. With a relatively young side, they showed grit and growth in every match, setting a strong foundation for 2026.

A big thank you to all our staff and volunteers who gave their time to support our teams as coaches and managers throughout tournament week. 

We’d like to acknowledge Kevin Greaney and Zen Baatjes- Junior Boys Football, Daniel Martin and Julie Ellis - Football Girls, and Paxton Maligi and Cherie Pouesi - Netball, Alyssa Carr and Blair White – Hockey for their commitment. Your efforts throughout the season helped make it possible for our students to reach their tournaments, and we are truly grateful for everything you do.

Overall, it was a fantastic week of sport, teamwork, and school
