Our Summer Sport season is now coming to an end with some fabulous fun, camaraderie, and competitions taking place, not only within school sports but also on a local and national level too - as reported in our weekly newsletter below. We are proud to be able to provide plenty of opportunities for students to participate and engage in quality secondary school sport experiences and offer many different sporting codes. These are supported by keen teaching staff and a large number of volunteers to provide the coaching and skills our students need to succeed. Term 2 marks the beginning of the Winter codes. If you would like to be involved with a sport please get in touch with us as we would love to hear from you! Be sure to get in touch with our Sports Director [Hamish Mackay](mailto:hamish.mackay@greenbayhigh.school.nz), if you are able to help in any way. Have a great Easter Weekend - remember that Easter Tuesday is a school holiday and school will be closed that day! ![cohen faaaliga](https://greenbayhigh.school.nz/images/7/2/d/9/f/72d9f692d1f9ac94e8c97546c4e84bf925ce65bd-cohen-faaaliga.jpg "cohen faaaliga") Haka Regionals Tamaiti ako ana i te kāinga, tū ana ki te marae, tau ana Cohen Faaaliga (Year 10) is an example of the whakataukī: "Tamaiti ako ana i te kāinga, tū ana ki te marae, tau ana."- A child taught at home will stand on the marae with dignity. Cohen was one of the youngest kaihaka (performers) who stood to represent his iwi Ngāpuhi ki Tāmaki on stage at the Haka Regionals Te Tai Tokerau in Whangārei on Saturday (23rd March).
