Rugby / Netball Fun Day

 The Rugby / Netball Fun Day was held on Tuesday 25th May at Campbell Park in Morrinsville.

Our two rugby teams played 4 games each. As a school team, the players ranged from regular Saturday club players, to those new to rugby and giving it a go. Extra effort shout out for Campbell, Baxtah and Jamie, who made up the numbers by playing for both teams.
As the title stated "Fun" was the order of the day. No scores were kept and fairplay nominations were drawn out for spot prizes at the conclusion.
What showed through was resilience and perseverance from the players. They held firm to their Tatuanui School values and showed these in their relationships with teammates, opponents, referees and supporters.Well done to our rugby players!  Proud of you all. Mr H.
