On Wednesday 22 November, seventeen Year 7 girls went to a Beach Volleyball Zone Day at Mairangi Bay Volleyball Centre. It was a beautiful hot day with no clouds in the sky. When we arrived the place was buzzing and there was lots of excited chatter, with balls flying everywhere as people were warming up.

Orewa College had entered four teams and we all played five games throughout the whole day. There were a mixture of wins and losses throughout the day for each team, and while we didn’t place we all enjoyed ourselves and developed our volleyball skills!

All the teams did very well and played the best they possibly could! By the end of the scorching day there were still no clouds in the sky, and we were all absolutely shattered after such an eventful day.
