PCT Competition

On Monday, we had 2 teams compete at the Physical Competency Test which is the police physical obstacle course. The obstacles included climbing walls, over net fences, carrying a weight, balance beam among others. The teams were made up of 4 students - our year 7 team was Dayna, Maddie, Ethan and Milan. The year 8 team was Max, Blake, Aliyah and Ayla. The Year 7 team competed well and recorded a time of 2:56. The year 8 team managed to make a time of 2:40. At the end of the 42 teams being timed the top 3 times went through to a final. This was our year 8 team. They then had to race again to try and get a better time against 2 other teams. They managed to bring their time down to 2:16 which was faster than any other team by 10 seconds - meaning they won the competition. This also means they have qualified to travel to Wellington later in the year to compete at the National competition. What a fantastic result. Well done to all the students who competed!
