Badminton On Thursday 10th November 5 year 7 and 8 students attended the teams badminton festival day. All our students thoroughly enjoyed the day and got to play many students from other schools in Northland.
After many weeks of training during school breaks with Mr Townshend the year 7 and 8 basketball team enjoyed a friendly game against Bream Bay College. The game was very close throughout the first 3 quarters with the lead changing each quarter. The final quarter saw Otamatea gain dominance to take the win 56 -48. Thanks must go to Adam Barlow for managing the team during the game and to Isaiah Pere for refereeing.
Year 7 and 8 Fast Five festival tournament After some concerns that the tournament would be cancelled due to the wet weather, three teams travelled to play lots of fast five netball in McKay stadium. All teams had a great day playing other teams from all around Northland. Congratulations to the year 8 team who came away undefeated at the end of the day.
