Water Polo Kristin Premier Boys' and Girls' teams both had hectic and exciting starts to the season. The early bird catches the worm they say, and our Water Polo programme duly obliged with pre-season training and teambuilding sessions at Mt Maunganui prior to the start of the season. The Premier Boys’ team competed in the Challenge Cup tournament in Hamilton as well as the Super Six. This was indeed a thorough build-up for the main competitions. The boys won the Bronze medal in the Senior A2 Auckland Secondary Schools League Championship. Both our girls and boys’ Premier teams qualified for the tier one National Championships following the North Island Championships in Wellington. A special mention and thank you to the following Year 13 students who have been a huge part of our Water Polo programme over the last five years. It was fitting that both the girls and boys’ teams won their last game for Kristin. The boys had an exciting win over Saint Kentigern and the girls defeated Carmel College.

– Charlie Jenkins – Lennie Kim – Larry Lambourne – Clare Lu
During the term, we also had four Year 9 and 10 teams play in the Junior one-day tournaments organised by College Sport and our Premier teams were joined by two other Senior School teams. Thank you to all the parents for their ongoing support of our Water polo programme and we look forward to further success for the rest of the year.
