Denise Swanepoel at play for U17 North Harbour Softball Team. 

Ōrewa College student Denise Swanepoel achieved an incredible milestone in softball over the Christmas holidays, when she represented the U17 North Harbour Softball Team at the National Tournament in Christchurch. Swanepoel’s exceptional performance earned her a spot on the New Zealand U17 Girls Softball Tournament Team.

This is an outstanding achievement for Swanepoel, who continues to show dedication and skill on the softball field. Representing North Harbour was already an honour, but being named to the New Zealand team is a dream come true for Swanepoel.

“This is a fantastic milestone for Swanepoel, and we can’t wait to see what she achieves next. Ka mau te wehi!” principal Wiri Warriner says.
