For the first time in two years, Rangitoto College students enjoyed Kotahitanga Day. Previously known as Beach Day, Year 9 students, teachers, and the Student Leadership Team worked together to build relationships with their peers. With 12 activity stations, there was an opportunity for all to enjoy.
Around 1600 students from all year levels participated in our annual cross country last week. This was a fantastic opportunity for our students to move their bodies while enjoying the sunshine. @rangitoto_sport
