CHESS TOURNAMENT – YEAR 7/8 & YEAR 5/6

Congratulations to our Year 7/8 team who recently came 1st in the South Auckland Interschool competition and now have the chance to compete at the national competition in Wellington.

Our Primary team also placed 3rd out of six schools at the primary interschool competition.

Not a bad effort considering that this was the first time that Randwick Park competed in the chess interschool competition. Many thanks to Coach Ronald for all the chess coaching.

YEAR 5-8 GIRLS RUGBY TOURNAMENT

RPS entered two teams into the Year 5-8 girls day out rugby tournament last week.
Our Year 7/8 team placed 3rd and our Year 5/6 team won the final.

It was the first time playing rugby for many of these girls, they improved in confidence throughout the day and we were very proud of them.

TERM 1 RPS ATTENDANCE

Congratulations to those tamariki who continue to attend school regularly and have not missed a day of school this year and those who have not missed a day so far for this term.
