·      Sport: 

*The ASB Girls Soccer Tournament is to be held in week 10 of term 3

*Congratulations to the Y5/6 Girls and Boys hockey teams as they won the Central Zone trophy by coming 1^st and 2^nd respectively.

*Y5/6 Boys Hockey feedback:

“They took direction very well, and outplayed teams with players with much more experience by working well as a group, backing each other up and showing superior fitness (and bravery). They exhibited good sportsmanship on and off the field, supported the girls when possible and were a real credit to the Muritai School. Most importantly they all seemed to enjoy themselves and are all very keen to play again”.

*Water Polo – The finals are this week.  Make sure that you check your emails for times etc.

*North Island Primary Schools Ski Championships – The following Y5/6 students took part in the championships last week:  Tobias Knight, Max Hahn, and Mathew Jones.
