The TPS Surfing Team competed on Thursday 28th March at Tay Street Beach in the BOP Primary Schools Surf Championship. After being postponed due to no swell the week before, the conditions were the complete opposite with some very strong waves and currents. So extreme, William broke his board!! Big congratulations to Xavi Taele who progressed through the heats, semis and finals to finish in 3^rd place!!! 

On Thursday 21st March, TPS was represented by an awesome team of girls in the Rainbow World Cup Cricket at the Blake Park Oval. It was such an enjoyable day.

Special mention to NENSI PATEL who was selected by BOP Cricket as a ‘Stand Out Player’ and the "Bowler of the Day".
