National Champions: 
Our Rippa Rugby team won the Air New Zealand National Championship in Wellington in August 2019.
We were the only team to win every game going into the semi final vs Waikato - and won that game 50 to 25.
In the final we beat Poverty Bay 30 to 15.

​Huge thanks to coach Jamie Laufiso, Tim Taura and running coach Nuree Greenhalgh. Also to Chaperone Monique Talbot and to all our supporters and parents. It was a total team effort and an experience these children will never forget. The support from our school who watched the Livestream of the games was also just awesome.

Our School has an incredible record in Jump Jam - National and North Island Champions on numerous occasions.
Last year we entered two teams - both finishing third in New Zealand.
​This year our Juniors finished Second in New Zealand.
