Managers' Function and Athlete Disco
Please be aware there is both a managers’ function and athlete disco on Saturday night after the championship. Details about both functions will be included in your registration pack. If you are an Auckland based school or are staying in Auckland on Saturday night before traveling home can you please promote the disco with your athletes. The disco has 250 students attending but currently needs a further 100 more tickets to be sold to enable it to proceed so that expenses can be covered. The disco is fully supervised with paid security to ensure student safety and runs from 7pm to 10pm at the Ellerslie Events Center. The annual NZSSCC disco is a great way for athletes to be rewarded for the effort they have given over the season with other likeminded students. A top DJ and light show will ensure athletes have a great time. The managers’ function has been organised only 200m from the athlete disco at Acacia restaurant and bar and runs for the duration of the disco. Representatives from the NZSSAA executive will be present and this is a great opportunity for team mangers to socialize knowing their students are in a supervised and safe environment. Tickets for the disco can be purchased on Saturday from the registration marquee. If possible please help support this great event. It has been organised 100% for the athletes and is not being held as a money generating exercise. |

Dion Latta
The New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association Executive, on behalf of all our members and participants, extends our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Dion Latta who tragically died on New Year’s day as a result of an accident in the outdoors. Dion was a student at John McGlashan College and represented his school at our recent National Road Race Championships in Wellington finishing 9th in the Junior Boys’ event. We know Dion will be very much missed by his team mates and staff involved with athletics at John McGlashan College and we would like you to know that our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
