What a way to end the year.
We have had record entries into our Fernside School Student Tennis Champs
29 in both boys' and girls' singles competitions and 17 pairs entered in both of the doubles comps.
The courts are jamming with students from year 4 - 8 giving it a go!
Our finals are being held tomorrow, and they are hotly contested.
Our 5 basketball teams finished last week and all on a win. The teams worked well together, trusting their passes and getting the rebounds. The Flames and Laker (7/8) finished 3rd in their section while the Thunder won theirs.
Thank you so much to Kelly for coaching the mini ball teams all year.
Thanks to Libby, Megan, Greg, Harry, Ryan, and Mitchell for coaching our Friday night teams.
As well as Ben Hampton being placed 3rd = in the 13 boys high jump, Aleisha Malcolm was placed 4th = and has broken the School record for 12 girls with her jump of 130cm.
The Sports dates for 2015 are set . Please look at the page for further information
Finally, thank you to all the parents who support the students being physically active.
Thank you for transporting them, paying any fees, managing teams and coaching. My number one goal is to provide students with opportunities to play sport, so thank you for making that possible!

Canterbury Athletics Success
Congratulations to Ben Hampton who was placed 3rd equal in 13 boys High Jump at the Canterbury Athletics Championships yesterday.
This is a fantastic result!
All 5 of our Basketball teams have one more game to play and this is a good time to reflect on why the students play the game. They simply play because they enjoy it - being on the court and being with their friends.
We owe a huge vote of gratitude to our coaches and our managers, thank you so much!

The Rakahuri Mountain Bike Rage
The Rakahuri Rage is a new endurance mountainbiking event to be held beside the Ashley River just north of Rangiora in March 2015. Teams of 2-4 riders will race for 6 hours around a 7km course, with the aim to complete as many laps as possible in that time. The course has been designed to suit riders of all abilities, mixing fast and flat sections with areas requiring a bit more technical skill to challenge everyone. New tracks are currently being created for this event, which winds through the trees on the south side of the Ashley Riverbed near the Rangiora Race Course, linking existing biking and walking tracks with stopbank roads.
The event is being held to raise funds so the Mainpower Sports Trust can extend the MainPower Primary School Swimming Programme and to promote sport and recreation in the region with a local based event. In 2016 Mainpower intends having an event just for primary school children on the night before but this will depend on how well it goes in March.
The Rakahuri Rage is all about encouraging riders to have a go and challenge themselves while being part of a supportive team which might be made up of workmates, family or friends. Entries are limited to 200 teams, with each team given an area right next to the track to set up a gazebo or tent so they can relax between laps. The race will start at 10am and finish at 4pm.
The race is open to all riders over 12 years old, with a variety of team categories available to enter...
Corporate / Mixed / Open Men’s / Open Women’s / School / Family / Veteran Men’s / Veteran Women’s (over 35 years) / Old Cranks (over 50 years)
Cost is $55 per rider with all proceeds going to the MainPower Primary Schools Swimming Programme
For more information and online entry forms, visit...
Entry forms are also available from Push Bikes Rangiora and the Sports Centre, East Belt, Rangiora

Winter Sports Conclude
Congratulations to our 2 teams (Junior Netball & Senior Hockey) that qualified for the Canterbury Winter Tournament in Christchurch last Thursday 28th.
The Hockey team of Hannah, Willa, Caitlin, Tom, Dylan, James, Sam, Emily, Bailey C, Jaimee, Amber progressed to the final undefeated! (Cashmere 2 Fernside 0)
Their ability to apply the game plans, work together as a team and play in a way that suited the 5 minute-each-way rules was great to watch. Talk about transferable skills from other codes (only 3 hockey players in the team)!
Thank you to past pupils Courtney Winter and Cate Hall who umpired for us.
