This morning our basketball team played their semis. The girls played Kaitao , had bit of a dreamy period but won what ended up being  quite a close game to make their way to the finals, MBIS 36-28 Kaitao.
The boys started their semi against Tauranga being 14-2 down after the first quarter. They then staged a magnificent comeback to take the lead 33-32 but with seconds remaining on the clock Tauranga evened the game with a free throw.33-33. In extra time 0f 2 minutes the baskets didn't drop for us and we lost by 2.  It was an incredibly exhausting game and our team had an hour to ready for their 3rd and fourth play off game. We played a good game but lost to a strong Glenn Edan side. Our guys are to be congratulated for playing high quality basketball this tournament.

 Great news Gold for our girls Basketball  team. They capped off a huge week by beating  Sacred Heart  College 25-22. Sacred Heart had 2 NZ reps so we knew we were in for a hard game. It was, but our girls held their composure, played with great skill and came away with the gold. Congratulations, Sophie, Zara, Katy, Mikayla, Libby, Maddi, Kerri, Bonnie and Issy.

Great news, Gold again. Today our Badminton team continued its domination of the NZAIMS tournament by winning the girls doubles. Congratulations Virginia and Emma.
