Rippa Rugby - Paroa

In bone chilling conditions this morning the Rippa Rugby team played 4 games against other West Coast Schools. We had two brilliant wins and 2 losses. The whole team played their hearts out. Watch out for their reports of the game shortly. Here are a few photos of the action.

Go Team Kaniere!

All lined up for the first tap off in game one.

Ruma Tahi, along with all the other classes have been really lucky to have Nobby come in to build on our rippa rugby skills over the last two weeks. We've learnt how to pass the ball while moving, move into spaces and how to work as a team. Ka pai Nobby. We hope you can come back again soon!

 . . . and this is how it's done . . .
