Miraculously two fine days in the first week of summer allowed both the primary school s athletics and the primary school s Ki o Rahi tournaments to take place.
The Ki O Rahi tournament was hosted by Ruahine School on Thursday, December 3 in very strong winds but part shelter from surrounding trees and buildings provided some protection.

Schools from Dannevirke and surrounding areas including Weber and Norsewood competed in all the athletics disciplines, each age group having its turn at field and track events, run so smoothly by Huia Range there was plenty of time for the much-anticipated relays.
