2015 - Wahoo. Go the Black Caps and congratulations to the Sevens Team winning the Wellington 7s final!

PE & Sport in Term 1

We have a busy term ahead of us with loads of opportunities to be involved in physical activity.
It is great to see the new lines painted around the School, especially the cricket wickets on the volley board. 

Students are asked to change for PE & Sport. The tee shirt is available at the Office while the dri-fit shorts can be purchased from Postie Plus or the Warehouse. Because it is difficult to keep their broad rimmed hat on in the wind and while running about, the students are able to wear a cap during that time. It is imperative that students are sun blocked for any outdoor activity.

A real focus this term is the ICC Cricket World Cup. Last year 4 of our students, Bailey, Bailey, Cameron, and Toby represented us at the launch with the Tournament’s countdown (and to play cricket with Cricket greats Richard Hadlee and Debbie Hockley, oh yeah and Kate and Wills!)
Students will have the opportunity to learn more about the game in PE.
25 students will be invited to attend the England vs Scotland Game on the 23rd.

Basketball – There is the opportunity to play basketball in the Friday Night Basketball Competition which starts on the 20th and runs for 6 weeks this term. 
North Canterbury Basketball is happy to announce its Hoops Academy is back for 2015 !
Hoops is a skill based academy for Primary School aged players where they learn all the skills they need to become a successful basketball player. Sessions are held at the Mega Centre
North Canterbury Basketball are also proud to bring you the Stars Academy run by our own Coaches Liam Connely and Paul Exeter
They will teach our top up and coming players the skills and game sense they need to succeed in the Canterbury Club competition and at National Tournaments.

As always, swimming in Term 1 focusses on safety and confidence. Given the appalling drowning statistics this summer it is imperative that we continue to cherish our Community Pool and value the opportunities to develop knowledge and skills further including the lunchtime swims, class and PE sessions, our Swimming Sports, the Triathlons, Mainpower Trust’s swimming programme,  and our sailing, beach, and surfing programmes.

We also have a strong tradition of students representing the School at the Canterbury Primary Schools’ Triathlon. Interested individuals must attend the Community triathlon to be considered.

In the Community we value the fantastic work that Mainpower and the Sports Trust do in promoting physical activity and well being. They are hosting a Bike Rage as part of their Annual Fundraiser.
