EOHS Sports Exchange
On Friday, 17 May Tokomairiro High School students competed against East Otago High School students in our annual sports exchange held at Edgar Sports Centre in Dunedin. Fifty students from Tokomairiro competed in four sports over the day, with all students playing all of the sports. The sports this year were Futsal, Netball, Basketball and Volleyball. After a competitive and enjoyable day, East Otago High School took the victory. The exchange finished off with outstanding haka from both schools. Many thanks to the staff and parents who helped out on the day.
Rippa Rugby Tournament
Uniform Reminder
Now that we are starting to feel the effects of winter weather, it is time to remind students of the uniform requirements. Softshell jackets are still able to be worn, or the new longer, waterproof jacket which is available from NZ Uniforms. Thermal tops are able to be worn under the polo tee shirts or checked shirts. These are to be black or navy. Hoodies and other non–uniform items are not acceptable. Students wearing skirts are allowed to wear navy stockings. There are some items of second hand uniform and new uniform pieces available at the school office, or you can join the Tokomairiro High Second Hand uniform page on Facebook by going to https://www.facebook.com/groups/1056602061990214. For any questions about uniform, please talk to your child’s dean.
Dates to Remember…2024
On Thursday, 23 May two teams of Year 7/8 students participated in the annual Rippa Rugby Festival in Balclutha run by Sport Clutha. On a very cold day the two teams competed against other schools from the South West district. Both teams won four out of five round robin games. Both teams progressed to the Quarter final stage but unfortunately had to play each other. It was a very tight game that could have gone either way but Blue team took the victory by one and made the semi-final. They played Blue Mountain College in the semi and unfortunately went down by one. It was a great competition that the students enjoyed. Many thanks to Lyn Clark for her help supervising and to the parents who came along and supported.
