Additionally, it was fantastic to note that we have three Samoan representatives among our students: Anika Humphries in football, Ilo Lui Fa'i in rugby league, and Tea Matatia in basketball. These students continue to make us proud, representing both Marsden and Samoa on the national stage.

 

Our Sportsperson of the Year was awarded to Analin Rudd who has had a stellar year. At the 2024 New Zealand Track and Field Championship, she won a gold medal in the U18 triple jump and placed 6th in the U18 long jump. Analin also qualified for the 2024 Oceania Athletics Championship, where she took silver in the triple jump and finished 5th in the long jump.
