Huge congratulations to the mixed tennis team which has become New Zealand Schools Mixed Tennis champions for an incredible sixth time out of the last 11 years. Our Maadi Cup rowing squad also enjoyed outstanding success, winning a gold, two silvers and a bronze medal at the national regatta. See page 48 for details. Angus Syme (Year 12) also became a national champion after winning the Boys’ U19 race at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Open Water Swimming Championships, a fantastic achievement. Another significant individual result was Ari Graham (Year 13) placing second in the Senior Girls’ U19 race at the National Secondary Schools Triathlon Championships. The Year 10 cricketers also performed with merit, finishing second in the New Zealand Schools Junior Cricket Finals, the first time they have qualified for this six-team national event.
Our volleyball, futsal and sailing teams also enjoyed strong competition during their Summer Tournament Week events, with our senior boys placing fifteenth at the national championships and the senior girls thirteenth after a series of close run games. The junior boys were unplaced, as places are only given to the top four in this grade. These relatively young teams all showed a great deal of potential. The College sailing team performed well to placed seventh out of 12 crews in the first round robin at the South Island Sailing regatta in Nelson. On the second day of competition the team competed in the silver fleet, with no wind eventually cutting the regatta short. The St Andrew’s sailors finished eleventh overall, which was a good effort, considering it was the first time in recent memory the College had competed in the sport. Parent liaison Piet Nel said the young team had “good fun in very nice weather”, and are keen to improve on their record next year.
