Junior Football Winners
Marsden Junior A Football team improved all season to win the Wellington Junior B grade. In a nail biting final against Wellington Girls' College they were tied 0-0 at full time which meant a penalty shoot-out. After both teams had taken their five penalties the score was tied at 2-2 so it went to sudden death. WGC took the shot first and our goalie, Jessica Marett (Y8) saved it. She then lined up the penalty shot for Marsden and scored a winning goal low in the corner. A great game and a great result! Thanks to the managers, coaches and parents for their commitment and enthusiasm.
Assistant coach, Ross Marett had this to say, "I was really impressed with the girls attitude and great team spirit and those that may lack some football skills certainly make up for it in effort making sure they were first to the ball and playing hard for the whole match. It was a pleasure to be involved with this team." (21/11/2011)

We are proud of Alex Hollis (Y13) who received Distinction in her Cambridge Pre-U Philosophy and Theology exams.
Marsden is the first school in New Zealand that offers a Pre-U (pre-university) course in Philosophy and Theology, which is geared towards giving students a taste of what studying at university is like. It allows them to research and develop their own thinking rather than repeat prescribed answers. As a result the attainment in this course is higher than that of a standard A level. It is hard going and demands a lot from the students, but the students who have taken this course absolutely love it. (23/08/2011)
