From the Sports Desk: A Huge Few Weeks!

It has been an incredibly busy start to the year for the TAS Sports Department. From the splashing success at the Upper Waitaki Swimming Sports in Kurow to hosting over 150 athletes on our home turf for the Country High Athletics, our students have been on the move constantly!

Managing these large-scale events, coordinating transport, and overseeing new facility upgrades like our long jump pits takes a massive team effort. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation for all the support I have received over the last few weeks—from the parents who stepped up to time-keep and transport students, to the local businesses and volunteers who have helped improve our grounds.

If you have any questions regarding upcoming events, please don't hesitate to reach out.

TAS Athletics Day – March 18th

Get your house colors ready! Our annual TAS Athletics Day is fast approaching on Wednesday, March 18th, held right here on the school field. This day is all about participation, "giving it a go," and soaking up that fantastic house spirit.

Key Details for the Day:

• Who: All students in Year 4 and above will be competing.

• Arrival: Please ensure students arrive promptly at school. The first events are scheduled to start at 9:00 am sharp.

• What to Wear: Students are highly encouraged to wear their House Colours to show their support and earn points for their teams!

  • Ruataniwha: Yellow

  • Ohau: Green

  • Pukaki: Blue

• Logistics: Due to the large number of age groups and students participating, our younger athletes will be completing many of their throwing events over at the javelin area to ensure we have enough space for everyone to compete safely.

It promises to be a high-energy day of running, jumping, and throwing. We can't wait to see everyone out there doing their best for their houses!
