While senior Cambridge exams have finished and our NCEA students begin their second week of examinations, the extracurricular life of the School continues to flourish. This morning, members of the Distance Squad completed a half-marathon, leaving campus at 5:30am and running to Kohimarama Beach and back. The group has been training for the past few months, and it was a fantastic morning for it - congratulations!
