The week wrapped up with Olympic Day on Thursday afternoon with a fun run.
One of the organisers, Richelle Gempton from CISNOC said around 50 people turned up at the Rarotonga Golf Course to participate.
“Those that came down really enjoyed it, we had a lot of spot prizes and fun games about the Olympics and then just some physical games there to but it was a good afternoon.”
The Mini Games on Wednesday had around 90 children from Blackrock pre-school, Apii Avarua and Apii Nikao at the National Stadium.
“It was challenging because we don't usually have that many children with such a small team but it was good.”
Gempton said she hoped to reach out more schools in the future for the Mini Olympics.
On Tuesday CISNOC hosted the Ability Games also at the National Stadium.
Around 70 inclusive education students from Rarotonga schools and the Creative Centre took part in the event.
Gempton said Olympic Week was “really busy but really rewarding”.
"(I'm) really pleased with how it all came together, I'm looking forward to next years Olympic Week."
“Everyone really enjoyed themselves right from the ability to the fun run, lots of smiley faces and laughter which is always a good time.”
