Weet-Bix Tryathlon
Well done to those students who braved the elements (at 8am on the last day of school holidays) to represent Parnell at the Weet-Bix World Champ TRY-Athlon. All the Parnell students gave it their best and it was an enjoyable day with parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and the odd Airedale!

North Island Primary School Ski Champs
Congratulations
to our most successful Parnell Ski Team yet! In a dramatic week that saw 20cm
of fresh snow fall before, (and during), the first days racing, we had Nick
Morris earn a Bronze Medal in the Giant Slalom, skiing with a broken wrist!
Tama Morris and Lilli Davies also finished the GS in the top 8 for their
respective divisions and Tane Tarlton-Kraus (22nd), Darcey
Pead-Kingdon (26th), Bella Barlow (34th), and Jamie
McConnell (44th) all represented the school brilliantly. Oliver
Dennehy (97th) and Tyler Doherty (124th) also got runs
in, but Rachel Willison, Alexander Parr and Zac Saunders were unfortunate to
miss out. Our final Team result of 2nd equal on points saw us finish
just behind St Kents and Kristin but ahead of Kings, St Cuthberts and
Southwell. A phenomenal result! The entire team were fantastic ambassadors of
the school in our shared accommodation with Victoria Ave, Meadowbank and Pt
Chev Primaries. Very special thanks to Richard Swan for organising our stay on
the mountain and to John Doherty, Tracey Gieck, Di Craig, Fiona Oliver, Angus,
Anna and Fiona Willison, Steve and Heather Davies, Simon Parr and John Dennehy
for their time and commitment to the team. We couldn’t have done it without
these parents and we all look forward to bringing home more medals next year!
Year 7 & 8 Eastern Zone Basketball
Further congratulations to the Parnell year
7 boys team! 1st in pool play and 3rd over all, against Kohi and St Heliers teams who had Auckland and New Zealand Reps!
The boys played tirelessly all day and really stepped up in the finals, beating a well drilled Churchill Park team in the play off for third and fourth. Once again we were supported by fellow classmates who had volunteered their time to assist with the running of the competition. All were great ambassadors for the school and we look forward to improving our skills in the Spring Basketball Series. Thanks again to the parents that assisted with transport and supported the team in the finals.
