Congratulations to the Junior A Water Polo team on their Silver Medal in the Junior North Island Secondary School Championships.
In the final for the first time in 5 years, the EGGS girls played a close fought game against St Cuthberts, finishing with a score of 5-6. Special mention goes to Ariane Tomaszyk, who received an outstanding player award for her great work in goal.
