 On Monday 19th October two black sticks hockey players Petrea Webster (119 caps for the Black Sticks) and Olivia Marry (100 caps for the Black Sticks) came out to visit Toko School as part of the Oceania International Hockey Tournament being held in Stratford.
 The girls both play striker and shared their wisdom about the game and their experiences with children in a question and answer session and then followed this with a skills session with some of our keen hockey players. A great time was had by all. Here are some of our action photos :)
