opportunity for the Roskill cluster to run

TAMAKI TOUCH EVENT Mt Wellington, 4 November 2020
The annual Tamaki cluster touch event was held in November with over 240 tamariki
from 11 schools meeting at the Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve. All grades were mixed
talent which gave our tamariki the chance to explore and learn new skills from their peers.
Not only was the day about playing touch but tamariki were connecting and creating new
friendships with peers from other schools.
Panmure Bridge Year 7 student said the most exciting part of the event was “having fun
and meeting new people and thanking or saying good game to other teams”
