Rangitoto College’s history-making Premier volleyball teams Rangitoto College stunned the Auckland and New Zealand volleyball community last month, making history with ten days of spectacular results, topped off with our Premier Boys winning the national title during tournament week. This followed record-breaking results at the Auckland Championships where both our boys' and girls' premier teams won gold, making Rangitoto the first school to take out both titles in a year. As well as these team successes, a number of players had their individual talent and skill recognised through being named in the tournament teams: Ethan Skelton, Connor Oakley, Lucas Payne and Nico Lietz were named in the National Tournament team, and Nico, Ethan and Lucas were also named in the Auckland Championship Boys team. Our Premier Girls, captained by Kaia Buckley, also had a stellar season. In addition to their gold at Auckland champs, they placed bronze at nationals, and Honoka Maeda, Kiana Stevenson, Shauna Li and Kirsty Laming all made the Auckland Championship Girls team; Honoka also made the National Tournament team. The Rangi B Boys were also in action over Summer Tournament week and excelled by winning the first-ever Senior North Island Satellite Tournament. A huge achievement for our future stars. We are incredibly proud of our volleyball players. A special thank you to our amazing skilled coaches, almost all of whom are alumni who are giving back to our programme, and our hard-working managers.
