When it comes to sport Pleasant Point Primary School girls and boys are proving hard to beat.

The size of their roll (290) doesn't seem to matter when they get on the sports fields against the bigger schools around the region.

For the second year running Pleasant Point's Year 5 and 6 rippa rugby team is heading to the national tournament in Wellington to represent Mid South Canterbury and North Otago.

Their senior girls cricket team will represent the same region when they face Tai Tapu School at the Ashburton Domain on Wednesday as part of a national knock-out competition.

Principal Mark Creba said it was fantastic achievement and was delighted for the girls' and boys.

"It is down to their hard work and the great support they have got from their coaches."
