Tough Guy and Gal Challenge at Kumeu Showgrounds

Aug 25, 2026 | Beyond The Classroom, Sport and Outdoor Education, William Pike Challenge Award

On Monday 10th August, students represented the school at the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge held at the Kumeu Showgrounds, competing alongside pupils from several other primary and intermediate schools.

Despite heavy rainfall the previous day, the muddy conditions did not deter our learners. Students dressed up for the occasion, fully engaged with the course, and demonstrated impressive teamwork throughout the event. It was particularly pleasing to see them supporting both their schoolmates and participants from other schools across the obstacles.

The day was a great success, showcasing our students’ resilience, sportsmanship, and positive attitude.

This is one of several William Pike Challenge Award activities running this term, including Ashlyn’s STEM sessions and the MyMarathon fundraising.
