In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the publication of the infamous character of the ‘Where’s Wally?’ books, the third day of Sancta Maria’s Library Week was a ‘Where’s Wally?’ Scavenger Hunt.

This week the College is hosting teachers and students from Shanghai. They have travelled to visit our school and experience the New Zealand education system while staying here.

A team of six girls from Year 9 and 10 headed out with Mrs Croxford in the school van, our mission – to compete at the Auckland Secondary Schools’ Competition for rhythmic gymnastics.

The second day of library week provided great fun for all with a five part competition to challenge every student who bravely dared to take it on.

Paihia, the area where it all began. From the Treaty of Waitangi, to James Busby, to the United tribes flag, to Pompallier House and three preserved battle grounds, all and more were available to the Year 13 History Students on their History trip.

A staff team comprising members of the Science and Religious Education departments and the school administration claimed victory in a keenly fought competition.

On Friday the Year 9 students had their retreat day, going to the Korean Catholic Church in Flat Bush.

As the sport continues to grow at Sancta Maria College, there is a corresponding wave of success from our players. Most recently through one of the Year 7 & 8 teams who placed 1st in their C grade during an Eastern Zone Competition held at Mission Heights Junior College.

After a slow start saw Auckland Grammar take an early lead the 5th Grade rugby team tackled their way back into the game.
