All in for inter-school athletics

Children from six Mahurangi schools ran, jumped and threw their best at the inter-school athletics on November 10.

This year the event returned to Shoesmith Domain, after it was  held at the Warkworth Showgrounds during the renovation of the fields.

Students from Warkworth, Matakana, Snells Beach, Horizon, Leigh and Kaipara Flats schools competed.
Event organiser Nicole Callander says she is very happy with how the day ran.

“There were some great skills on display and it was good to see all the students bonding from different schools, as they will be peers at college.”

The event was accompanied by great weather, after being postponed due to rain on November 8.

“Because many helpers were parents who took the day off work the change of date proved a little difficult, but enough chipped in on the day.”

Nicole thanks the Warkworth Athletics Club and Mark Illingworth, for all their help in setting up equipment and helping the day run smoothly.
