DUFFY THEATRE: TOMORROW, WED 22 MAY 2024
CALLING DETECTIVE DUFFY!
Duffy has been reading a lot of mystery novels lately and we are lucky he has because a case has come up! His cousin, Crystal Kea, is a Black Fern but she is facing a crisis! Her stat card has been misprinted at the factory and it is really affecting her skill and confidence. Never fear, Duffy and Scruffy are on the case! Together, using their mystery books as a helpful guide, they must figure out who or what is behind the misprints so Crystal can get back to full form before her next game!

YEAR 5&6 RUGBY: Our Year 5 & 6 Rugby boys had a great tournament last Tuesday. They played hard and improved throughout the day. We came away with 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. They finished 5th out of 14 teams. Well done boys!

PAPAKURA REPRESENTATIVE NETBALL TEAMS
The netball season is well and truly in full swing, with a number of our netball teams competing at both the Auckland Netball Centre mid-week and the Papakura Netball Centre on Saturdays.

Some of these teams are building towards the national tournament: U14 and U16 in New Plymouth, and U18 in Dunedin at the start of the next school holidays in July.
