Epro8 SemiFinal and Final

The Semi Finals...

The Whakarongo Brainwaves - Sophie Collis, Trent Shailer, Ryan Morgan and Callum Whitley attended the Epro8 Year 7 / 8  SemiFinal at Roslyn School on April 13.  They battled against other teams to complete a range of challenges and finished the competition 6th equal.  Well done Team!



The Whakarongo Einsteins attended the Epro8  Year 5 / 6 Semi Final at Roslyn school on April 14.  The team consisted of Axis Simon, Caleb Woisin, Carter Fuldseth and Zac Bradford.  They attempted the same challenges as the year 7 / 8 team with equally good results finally coming in 5th equal.  They were forced into a four-way tie breaker and emerged victorious, progressing through to  the Finals in the first week of May.
