Our school duathlon was held at Christchurch South Intermediate on Thursday 11th February. The weather was perfect and with over 500 children competing it was a fantastic event. The Year 7s started us off with teams, followed by the girls individual and then the boys individual. Every student gave it their all and it was pleasing to see the support and encouragement that the children gave to their peers while they were competing. The Year 8s were ready for their turn after interval and they did not disappoint. They were also very supportive of each other. Every student that competed on the day should be proud of their effort and be commended on showing ‘The South Way’. A big thank you to all the helpers and staff on the day. Without your support events like this could not happen.
