Students shine in our annual Athletics Day

On Monday 23 February 2026 we had our annual athletics day. This is one of the days many of our students look forward to in our Sancta Maria College calendar, as it’s a day to showcase your talents and go out and try new things.  This year’s athletics day house results were:

• Akaroa in 4^th place
• Hokianga in 3^rd
• Kororāreka in 2^nd and
• Waitematā in 1^st
