Dragon Boating Festival
Wellington put on a perfect day for the Secondary School Dragon Boating Festival on Sunday after it had been delayed for a week as a precaution after the tsunami alert as a result of the huge earthquake in Chile. Out of 33 teams from around the region our school team made the A Grade semi final but missed out on a spot in the grand final by 0.25 seconds. The girls then competed in the A Grade Petite Final and finished in 3rd place. Well done girls. Wellington East Girls' College were the eventual winners of the girls' grand final.
Sports Day 2010
After a summer that 'nearly wasn't', a fine day prevailed for the annual Sacred Heart College Sports Day. Held at the Petone Recreation grounds this year (due to the unavailibility of the Hutt Rec.) a fun day was had by all, including the serious athletes, the not so serious athletes, and staff who masqueraded as nursery rhyme characters. As usual there was fierce rivalry between the six houses as students competed for points, chanting levels, and of course the obligatory fancy dress. Congratulations to Siena for finishing as top house and well done to the highly organised PE Department (alias the 4 Pippi Longstockings) for a great day.
