Softball

This year we had a talented and committed team of Year 11 students playing softball for Karamu High School. On Saturday mornings, in Term 1 and 4, we played in a local secondary school competition at Akina Park, Hastings. The team performed extremely well, developed their skills, and worked together to develop a supportive team culture.

The team was managed by Whaea Racheal Tiuka & Mr Rolls with coaching support from Shane Sullivan. We are hugely appreciative of his contribution of time, knowledge and expertise to our school and community. This season our Most Valuable Player was Corey Sullivan for his outstanding season as pitcher. A special congratulations to Kate Moore on her selection for the New Zealand U15 ISA Tour to Australia.

KARAMU ATHLETICS

Although covid-19 interrupted a fair few sports events this year, Karamu High School was able to take a fine team of athletes to compete at the annual East Coast North Island Secondary School Athletics Track and Field Championships, held at Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Park, in March of this year. We came away with some great results across many disciplines and age groups. Maddie Hughes and Andre Carter were selected for the ECNI Track Team to compete at the New Zealand Secondary School Track and Field Championships. Congratulations to the following students who placed in the top 6 for the given events:
