The Weight Room
Weight training has many benefits for health and fitness, so it was great to see a wide range of the school population using the weight room to work towards their health and fitness goals. There were more than fifty members in 2020 and it has been great to witness the progress obtained by all the students involved. A special mention must go to all the members this year for keeping the weight room tidy and always being positive, respectful to each other and focussed on what they wanted to achieve. It has been a pleasure to be involved with Weights and I know it will be another great year in 2021!

TENNIS
Both Junior and Senior tennis was fortunate enough to be able to get in the Term 1 competition before the disruption of covid-19. There were both social and competitive interschool competitions and Karamu certainly held their own in the divisions in which they played. Stalwarts such as Sara Renall played through the competition with almost complete success, showing real skill to defeat some talented players from other schools.
In Term 4 tennis involved a large group of dedicated juniors playing both matches and some basic skills training on Thursdays after school. Their energy and positivity means that in future tennis should be well represented in our interschool competitions.
VOLLEYBALL
Another great couple of seasons of Volleyball in 2020. Senior teams did well in the first term and the juniors have showcased some promising talent in the fourth term. Unfortunately Covid 19 interrupted our team photos this year and cancelled the Nationals Tournament in Palmerston North.
Junior Girls Volleyball
Junior girls social volleyball team had a great season and ended up winning their division. Great team spirit with a great attitude!!!
