Canon Ball Challenge

This Wednesday from 8:30am until 8:45am our school held a scavenger hunt in association with Canon NZ. 3 rugby balls were hidden in various spots around our school which children had to find and return to claim a prize. The prize? The winning Canon Ball Challenge kids will spend a few hours with Damian McKenzie in a skills and drills session at North Harbour Stadium on the 15th September. There will be face painting and a sausage sizzle on the day. They'll also take home an A2 photo printed on-site on a Canon large format printer and a bag filled with goodies. Here's how it all went down.
