CAMPION College and Aquinas College of Tauranga this week continued their 14-year tradition of sporting exchanges.
The annual exchanges had been a big part of Campion’s sporting calendar since Aquinas opened in 2003, Campion principal Paul McGuinness said.
“It’s a very important fixture for us because it’s our only Year
9/10 event,” he said.
“It gives those students more exposure and a wider range of opportunities to compare themselves and gauge where they’re at against other schools.
“Aquinas is almost twice our size. We’re challenged to lift our performance, but the camaraderie is awesome, regardless of the results.
