Due to the upcoming long Weekend (King's Birthday), there are no fixtures for our First XI Boys' Football on Friday or for any teams on Saturday. Everyone gets to kick back, relax and come back fresh for next week!

• Last Thursday, GBHS was represented by 13 students competing in the Central Western Swimming Zones, held at West Wave. To qualify for the upcoming Auckland Champs, swimmers had to finish in the Top 16 from all Auckland regions combined in their chosen event/s. Congratulations to Dylan Gear (Yr 9) who qualified for backstroke and freestyle, and Aimee Marsh (Yr 9) who qualified for breaststroke and butterfly, that's a huge achievement!

• The U17 Green, Junior Green and Junior Blue Boys' Basketball teams all had awesome wins last week, and an exciting 58-6 win for our Girls' Basketball Team against St Kentigern College!

• It was a tight 2-1 loss for our Girls' Hockey team against Henderson High School, but an even game is a great game to watch! We also had two tight games for our First XI Boys' Football and Boys'14A Football teams, both drawing 1-1 with their opposition.

• Once again, our 10A Netball Team showed their dominance, winning 54-19 over Waiōrea/Western Springs College! There was also a hard-fought win for the 9B Netball Girls' team, narrowly winning 18-16 against Lynfield College.

• Last weekend (Saturday and Sunday) Zoey Wood (Yr 12), competed in the NISS Horse Trials Equestrian Event. Zoey placed 2nd overall in her class which is outstanding, finishing only half a point behind first place! She was part of a composite team with Kaipara College, and they ended up placing 4th overall. Congratulations Zoey!

• Fifteen GBHS students competed in the Auckland Cross Country Champs on Tuesday, held at Lloyd Elsmore Park. We scored some great results! Congratulations to Elijah McDermott (Yr 9) who placed 8th in the Junior Boys' grade, Sofia Maulvurfs (Yr 11) placed 10th in the Intermediate Girls' Grade, and Finn Birch (Yr 12) placed 7th in the Intermediate Boys' Grade. The top three junior girl runners from our school (Kayla Kearins, Vida Albanez and Tsubaki Moore) took home a 4th place finish for overall fastest accumulated time in their age group. Some great Top 10 finishes; well done to all those that competed!

• Our Premier Netball Team had an outstanding, and very competitive game against Avondale College on Tuesday night, keeping it close and winning with a four-point lead, a great effort from the girls!

• On Wednesday (27 May) our First XI Girls' Football team had an awesome 3-0 win against Western Springs here on home soil, and they're teetering on the edge of being top of the table! It was a tough 2-0 loss for our 2nd XI Girls' Football team against Hobsonville Point SS and a win-by-default for our Girls' 9A team.

• Our Boys' Hockey team cut it close in their game against Waitakere College on Wednesday, taking home a great 5-4 win in the end. And our Girls' Hockey team are taking on St Dominic's College tonight (Thursday 28 May), we wish them all the best!
