Student success

James Jenkins competed in the South Island Table Tennis Teams Tournament in Christchurch on Saturday. This event attracted well over 50 teams from Southland, Otago, Canterbury, Nelson, and Marlborough. James represented Otago in the U13 Boys' teams, and although he is quite a bit younger than his opponents, the team managed to come second overall.

On Sunday, he competed in the Canterbury Grand Prix table tennis event and managed to make the final of Division 6. This really was an outstanding effort. James is definitely a player to watch and showed great resilience and sportsmanship on this trip away.
