Franklin Zone Athletics
Congratulations to the following students who have qualified for Franklin Zone Athletics!
Further information regarding the event will be sent to whānau.
Junior Volleyball Championships
Our Junior Girls' and Boys' Volleyball teams competed in the Junior Volleyball Championships at Bruce Pulman Park from Wednesday to Thursday.
This was our first year entering the competition, with both teams progressing from regular trainings through a qualifying tournament and into the championships. It was a big undertaking and a reflection of the determination and commitment shown by our volleyballers.
A big thank you to Rex Patterson for his continued time, effort and commitment to developing our volleyball programme.
Ignatian Rugby
Our first rugby muster was held on Thursday 12 November, with players training in pods. It was great to see our senior players return to train alongside our juniors as we continue to build and develop rugby at St Ignatius.
A big thank you to the parents and whānau who continue to support the programme. Alongside the development of our players, we are also seeing our coaching and management teams grow, helping to build a strong foundation for the future of Ignatian Rugby.
Cricket
We are looking to establish our first St Ignatius cricket team in 2027!
Students interested in playing are encouraged to head to Google Classroom to register their interest and find out more.
