Recently Aquinas College student Ella Akkerman travelled to Wellington to represent the Bay of Plenty by competing in the Volleyball New Zealand National Inter-Provincial Championships (IPC).

There were nine Bay of Plenty teams competing and of which, seven managed to achieve a gold, silver or bronze medal. A number of these athletes were also selected in the Tournament Teams for their age groups.

Volleyball Bay of Plenty announced that Ella Akkerman is a Bronze medal  recipient, in the Under 17 years  Development Women ‘s Squad.

We also wish Ella all the best at the upcoming Youth Commonwealth Games.
