National Primary School Surf Champs
Amelie W, Ava H and Jack T went to the National Primary School Champs in Gisborne over the holidays.
Jack T surfed unbeaten through to the semi finals in Year 5 and 6 boys competition. Amelie W surfed her best in the Year 7 and 8 girls making it through to the semi finals as well. Ava H placed 2nd overall in the Years 7 & 8 girls division. Ava surfed unbeaten through the round robin achieving a well deserved 2nd place in the final up against some tough Year 8 competitors.
Sumner School was certainly well represented and we are very proud of all of them.
