What It Takes To Succeed At The Olympics

On Monday the Year 7 Syndicate was very lucky to listen to NZ Olympic swimmer, Danyon Loader speak to us about his success and all the hard work it took for him to be the "Best in the World"


He made some very meaningful comments about working hard, finding the balance between sport/education/social and is winning everything.


Post a comment about your thoughts on being the best you can be and letting that be enough.

Fair play.... what is it??

When someone says to you what is fair play in sports what do you say to them?? When a football player takes a dive and fakes and injury.... or when a boxer punches below the belt.... 

Make a comment about what you think fair play is.
