A huge congratulations to Irene Gong Year 9, who has successfully qualified for the National Age Group Swimming Championships (NAGs) in Hawke’s Bay this April.

Qualifying for this event is no small feat - it represents the top tier of youth swimming in the country and reflects the countless early mornings and kilometres Irene has put in at the pool. Training with the Waitākere Swimming Club, Irene has shown incredible dedication to her sport. Our school community is incredibly proud of her hard work. 

Good luck, Irene! You can cheer her on from home by tuning into the livestream on the Whakaata Māori YouTube channel.
