Tokomairiro High School Athletics Day 2025
Tokomairiro High School held their annual Athletics day on Tuesday, 18 February. The morning started off wet but warm with the House Group Chants and House group parade. Then the competition began. This consisted of Track events 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m and field events shotput, javelin, discus, long jump and high jump. One event had to be moved inside due to the weather but otherwise we carried into the afternoon sun and heat. The events were tightly contested and great to watch especially the house and teacher relays and the Tug of War between houses. We were grateful to have the Lions Club doing a sausage sizzle and Mr Whippy. We also had a great turnout from parents, grandparents and caregivers to cheer on the students. We were lucky to be able to coordinate with Milton Schools Athletics to run these days together and it proved successful again.
