 Rugby Finals Day - 29 August 09

The Grammar 6A Rugby team with coach Mr Markham celebrating their finals victory.

 Grammar Teams performed with distinction at the annual Auckland Secondary Schools Rugby Finals Day held at Sacred Heart College on Saturday 29 August 09. Five Grammar rugby teams qualified for the finals and they all won their finals in very tight encounters. Four of these grades were 'A' grade championships (6A, 5A, 4A and 3A) along with the 4C grade.

This meant that the school won more championship finals than any other school. The teams played with composure, confidence and control and thoroughly deserved their victories. My thanks to all the boys who played with typical Grammar pride and spirit, and also to the coaches and managers of the teams. Without their dedication, expertise and motivation I am sure the boys would not have been so well prepared and committed to the cause.

Saturday was a very special day for our school winning so many championships.

Recently the school has had a most successful time:

• The Grammar Voices choir won silver at the NZSS Big Sing competition held in Dunedin.
• Grammar boys won two out of three individual titles at the ASS Duathlon champs.
• Grammar won five out of six team titles at the ASS Road Race champs.
• Grammar Premier Squash came runners-up in the NZSS Squash champs.
• Grammar won the ASS Chess title for the seventh time this decade.
• 1st XI Hockey won the Inter-City title, beating King's College 2-1 in the final.
• 1st XI Football qualified for the final of the ASS Knockout Trophy beating previously unbeaten MAGS 3-0.
• The Grammar Symphony Orchestra and Grammar Virtuosi were awarded silver medals at the ASS KBB Music Festival, and the Stage Band were awarded bronze for their performance in the same competition.

Prime Minister Attends Scholars' Assembly

Prime Minister, Rt Hon John Key, was the School's special guest at the annual Scholars' Assembly held on Friday 13 February. Mr Key spoke to the assembly about the value of education and having goals in one's life and then presented the School's top scholars from the Cambridge Examinations 2008 with a special scholar's tie and certificate.
