The All Blacks - Richie McCaw, Ali Williams, Ross Filipo, Rodney So’oialo, Joe Rokocoko and Sitiveni Sivivatu arrived just as the rain cleared and took some photos with Mayor Steve Offord and a group of Charlton students. Our students took part in rugby skills training and used the outdoor gym equipment, they were a credit to the school and asked questions and mixed openly with the athletes.

A large number of our students were invited to join in and learn about the different gymnastic apparatus and participated in taster sessions.
