We’ve had some fantastic Aquinas sporting results recently; let’s get you caught up…
⛳ Golf
Congratulations to our Year 7 golf team of Noel Kim, Rayeon Lee, Maxwell Murdoch and James Taylor, who claimed the Western BOP Intermediate qualifier by three shots to secure their place in the BOP Intermediate School Finals. We wish the team all the best as they head to Rotorua next month.
💦 Water Polo
A huge congratulations to Greer Sander (Year 11), who was named one of the Top Five Most Voted Players at the NZ Water Polo U18 Division 2 National Championships. The Tauranga team of Greer and Emma Page (Year 12) finished an impressive fourth overall!
🏎️ Karting
Shoutout to Year 8’s Charlie Clarke, who represented Aquinas at the 2026 NZ National Schools Championship and placed 4th against drivers from all over NZ.
Charlie set the fastest qualifying time on the Christchurch track and won the opening two heats in the Vortex Mini Rok class. He is now competing in the City of Melbourne Titles against 63 of Australasia’s best young drivers.
Fellow Year 8 driver Nico Thomasen is also taking part in the Melbourne race. Read about his karting journey in this great article: https://tinyurl.com/3d925346
🏃 Cross Country
Congratulations to Year 7 twins Cruz and Summer Champness, who were crowned Age 11 champions at the recent BOP Intermediate Cross Country Championships. Delilah Twentyman claimed second place, Lulu Fougere finished fifth, Tully MacDonald placed sixth, and James Gardiner took third in the boys race. We can’t wait to cheer them on at the AIMS Games!
Congratulations to all of our students on these outstanding achievements. We are incredibly proud of the way you represent Aquinas on the regional, national and international stage. 💚💛
