Big cheers for Top Schools
Teams strive to be Top School champions at Paeangaroa School
The competition was as hot as the weather as teams strived to be Top School champions at Paeangaroa School on Sunday. The Trevelyan’s Top School 2024 was being held for the 26th time with 22 teams from schools in Te Puke and Pa¯pa¯moa. And it was the host school’s Red team that prevailed in the year 5 and 6 competition, with Pongakawa Blue taking out the year 7-8 title.
Giving plenty of encouragement, the cheerleader competition attracted 10 teams, with Paengaroa being judged the best in the year 5-6 age group, and Otorrakau winning the year 7-8 contest.
Paengaroa School principal Bruce Lendrem says the school’s parents, pupils, staff and community members wish to thank all schools, their families and friends for the wonderful support of the annual event.
“It was a fantastic day, enjoyed by all. A magnificent crowd of over 1100 supporters and competitors spent the whole day in the sun,” he says.
“Our sponsors were amazing this year, resulting in a fantastic day for all.”
The fair play award was won by Golden Sands School and Maketu¯ Volunteer Fire Brigade helped out with the horizontal bungee game.
