Whole School Cross Country 2017

What a wonderful morning we had at Waipuna Park on Tuesday. The students were amazing and certainly did us all proud. Certificates for the top six runners in each age group will be awarded in assemblies later this term. We would like to say a huge thank you to the parents who did put their name down to help we certainly could not run whole school events like this one without you.

The top six runners (girls and boys) from Year 4, 5 and 6 will be representing the school at the West Cluster Cross Country on Wednesday 14th of June at Waipuna Park. The students will be running the same distance they ran for our school cross country. A newsletter will come home to selected students shortly.

West Cluster Cross Country

Tauriko School had a strong, determined group of 37 individuals head off to Gate Pa Primary School to complete in the West Cluster Cross Country event last term. This was for students aged Year 4 to Year 6. The course was a gruelling 2kms, testing students beyond their limits. Tauriko School being the determined bunch managed to place in nearly every single race.

• Zoe Davy 6th Year 4 Girls
• Rivah McCafferty 4th Year 4 Boys
• Tom Dyer 1st Year 5 Boys
• Jake Rutherford 4th Year 5 Boys
• Sara Esterman 5th Year 6 Girls

• Isaac Bishop 6th Year 6 Boys

A huge congratulations to all the students who competed in this event and made it through to Western Bay.

Go Tauriko!!!

Whole School Cross Country

What a great day we had at our Whole School Cross country. It was a great celebration for many of the students who have been working hard on their own personal goals for cross country. Even though the weather was not that nice in the morning we managed to run all age groups at Waipuna Park or on the field at school and even had a fun parent/student relay. Below is a list of the top 6 place getters in each year level.

We would like to say a huge thank you to the parents who offered their help on the day. We couldn't run an event like this without you so it is very much appreciated.

The top 6 runners from Year 4 - 6 will be competing at the West Cluster Cross Country at Gate Pa School in a couple of weeks time. We want to wish them the best of luck for this very competitive event.
