Today a group of WHS students have completed the schools Tough Guy, Tough Gal challenge out at Wainuiomata. Not only that, Ibrahim Idris Ibrahim absolutely decimated the opposition, placing second overall. Coming second in a field of 1000+ makes him a champ in our opinion!

Our students competed admirably and we are super proud of their resilience and determination in taking on this challenge.
