Inter School Cross Country Competitors!

Proud to represent Rangikura School!

Room 10 had six students represent Rangikura School today at the Inter School Cross Country.  

They had a fabulous time and shared with the class that running 2 kilometres is hard work!  But they were pleased to represent their school and whanau. 

Well done Eraia, Nav, Javahn, Jipsy, Memphis and Mya.  

We are very proud of you.
