2021 Cross Country

Ka mau te wehi! What a tremendous amount of effort the tamariki put into cross country this year. Despite coming across mud puddles as big as them in some cases, they showed resilience and determination to cross the finish line. What a great example of the students 'Being the best they can be' and we couldn't be prouder! Well done to Liam, Jaxon, Taison, Maia, Sophia, Libra and Jasmine who travelled to Blenheim on Wednesday 12th August for the Marlborough School Cross Country Event - they represented Waikawa Bay School with pride.
