On 14th October, TAS students showcased their athletic talents at our very own version of the Upper Waitaki Athletics competition. The event was a great success, thanks to the dedication of both students and staff who arrived early to help set up. A special shoutout goes to Summer, who volunteered her time throughout the day to assist with the sprint events, ensuring everything ran smoothly. It was wonderful to see so many parents turn out to cheer on the students, creating an encouraging and lively atmosphere.We were also thrilled to welcome Mt Cook School, who joined us for the day, adding to the sense of community and friendly competition.Adding to the fun, the Home and School committee ran an excellent sausage sizzle, providing a delicious treat that complemented the day perfectly.Looking ahead, everyone is eagerly anticipating the completion of our new athletics field next year, which promises to enhance future events even more.Finally, we wish the best of luck to the students who have been selected to represent TAS at the North Otago competition—run, throw, and jump your best!
