Country schools' swimming sports a real fun day

The rural schools of Ngamatea, Rangataua and Orautoha held an enjoyable swimming day at Waiouru recently in a non-competitive atmosphere. The annual event was held at the tepid Burns Pool in Waiouru. There were lots of fun events, including pyjama race, tug-of-war and even a race against parents! Most of the teachers were not too keen on entering the water but Orautoha School's Derek Jensen took the plunge and Peter Miller of Rangataua School had his togs on just in case.

The event was organised by Ngamatea School's principal Nigel Bioletti, the first inter-school event he has organised since coming to the school. He said he was pleased at the way everyone pitched in to make the day a success and was impressed with fhe pool complex at Waiouru.
