Last Wednesday, Te Moana students enjoyed a fantastic Cross-Country event at Mazengarb Reserve. This was the first year our Year 4 students competed at the venue, completing a 1 km course, while our Year 5 and 6 students tackled the challenging 2 km course.
Despite a demanding hill that tested their stamina, all students showed incredible grit, perseverance, and positive “Can Do” attitudes. We are extremely proud of the effort and determination displayed by every runner as they represented Te Moana with pride.
A huge thank you goes to our Senior Sports Ambassadors, Olivia Noble, Dakota Bell, and Aidan Robertson, who assisted with setting up the course and marshalling throughout the event. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the parents and whānau members who helped walk with our tamariki and supervise students during the day. Your support was invaluable and greatly appreciated.
