Week 6 had students representing Cobham in the PCT, CAIMS Summer Tournament and local cricket games.

On Monday 3 teams represented Cobham at the PCT competition held at Cowles Stadium. Our year 8 students were put through their paces on the official Police Competency Test. Our Cobham 2 team finished up first for the morning session and their time held against the afternoon teams so that they were the winners overall. Sofia and Lennox also had the fastest feet on the day clocking up 27km/h and 28km/h through the police speed radar.

Tuesday had 250 students played in a range of sports againsts other intermediates in Canterbury. We had a range of incredible results including:

Golf: 1st and 3rd

Touch: Girls 1st and Boys 2nd

Orienteering: 1st and two 2nds

Rogain: 1st and 2nd

Tennis: Boys 2nd and Girls 2nd

Handball: 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Cricket: Girls 1st and Boys 2nd

Futsal: Girls 3rd

Thursday our boys and girls cricket teams played Christs the King. Our boys had a convincing win over CTK while our girls went down to the other side.

It is safe to say sport is well underway at Cobham this year. Keep your eye out as Winter Sports trials begin next week.
