Open evening at high school

Wainuiomata High School will be holding an open evening for year 8 students and their wh nau at 5pm on 15 August.

Everybody is welcome at the open evening, which will showcase the excellent learning that takes place at the local high school.

Wh nau will be taken on guided tours to showcase all the school does.

There will be opportunities during the tours for people to discuss their vision for Wainuiomata High School.

The tours will take place at frequent intervals from the school office, starting at 5pm.

This will be followed by an address by the school’s Tumuaki in the auditorium at 6pm, and the evening will conclude at 7pm.

Over half of the championship winning side from 2022 returns to the squad, with all eyes set on defending the title, as well as protecting the Ranfurly Shield for the year.

Tamati says he is pleased with the depth of the squad across the board.

“We’ve got a lot of strength cover- ing each position, which is a good problem to have when it comes to selection each week,” he says. “We’ve seen a lot of exciting young players in the club competition, and [that] again left us with some hard selection decisions, but we believe those picked from club rugby have what it takes once called upon.”
