Jo's Sport Talk
There will be over 70 TPS students representing our kura at various sporting arenas this weekend, as the 2022 winter sports season kicks off! We have teams competing in the local basketball, hockey and netball leagues. All of these teams are now complete and every player should have received their team list for the season.
Remember that TPS athletes always try their best, and are humble in victory and gracious in defeat!
The TPS Cross Country is happening next week; our first whole school sports event for 2022. After encouraging our runners daily, as they train around the school grounds, it will be exciting to watch them compete and reap the rewards of their efforts. We invite everyone to come and share the event with us.
