Waitārere Forest Run
What a fantastic day Team P.B.S had at the Waitārere Forest Run on 13 April. With a team of 50 participants, we had students and their whānau represented in every event—from the 2km all the way to the 21km! It was incredible to see so many of our tamariki out there giving it their all, supporting each other and enjoying the awesome forest atmosphere.
A special congratulations to Lani, who scored the big spot prize of the day—an ASICS pack full of goodies and a $300 ASICS voucher!
A huge thank you to all our participants and whānau for helping make this such a great day out. We’re so proud of our P.B.S crew!
