X-race at Petone Beach

On Sunday, 12th March the X-race was held at Petone Beach. Children participate in a team with their parent and undertake a number of challenges, including solving puzzles, riddles and skipping.

A number of SCHS students took part, including Hazel B, Violet B, Jiezl D, and Sophia from Room 3.

Violet came 2nd place in the 8 year old girls and 4th female overall. It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone had a great time!

NZ Warriors -Thursday, 2nd March 2023 Open Captain’s Run Sky Stadium 9:30am-11:30am.

On Thursday, 2nd March, we walked down to the stadium where we had a long wait in the sun to get inside with the other schools. Once we sat down, we watched the Warriors train but our view wasn’t very good.

All the people watching got a free poster. Then we met some of the players and got their signatures. Shaun Johnson and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad were crowd favourites.

After lunch we had an education session with Lingi Kepu, a current player, Anthony Jello Gelling, a former player, Eki, from the under 20 squad and Charlotte Scanlan, a Kiwi Fern and former NZ Sevens player. We learnt about the importance of sleep, hydration and a balanced diet. People won prizes including water bottles, bags, shoe laces and even free tickets to the game the next day. We also got to ask them questions about being a professional athlete, such as what it’s like having to sacrifice family time and how much training they do.

At the end of the day, anyone who wanted to got the chance to race Eki and Jello. They were fast but we reckon there are a few seniors who gave them a run for their money!

Thank you to our parent helpers who made the day possible.

Ngā mihi, NZ Warriors!
