🏆 Campion Exchange 2026 Success! 🏆

What a fantastic sports exchange with our friends from Campion College! Our students represented Gisborne Intermediate across Football, Rugby, Netball, and Hockey.

It was an awesome opportunity to get out into the community and put our RISE values into action. We saw outstanding displays of Respect, Integrity, Self-Management, and Excellence all day long—our students were a true credit to our school! 🌟

The Highlights:
🏉 Rugby: WIN
🏐 Netball: WIN
⚽ Football: Narrow loss
🏒 Hockey: Narrow loss

While the scoreboard showed mixed results, the real win was seeing everyone out there giving it 100% and creating great opportunities for students from both schools.

A massive THANK YOU to:

Campion College for being wonderful hosts as always.

Our dedicated GIS Staff for putting in the extra hours to make these events happen.

We can’t wait for 2027—with exciting talks of expanding the exchange even further! 💥
