HAWKE'S BAY ORIENTEERING CHAMPS - Haumoana dominates podium!!!

After heavy rain on Saturday night, we were fortunate that sunny skies greeted the Haumoana orienteering families as they trapsed the 1.5km hill to the event centre on the Rotoma property.


The victorious team

Congratulations to all children who represented their school and a big thanks to parents for their efforts in getting them there.

The event couldn't have gone any better as far as podium success because this year Haumoana children filled the podium in both the girls and boys divisions.
