School Council – What’s Happening

Interschool Sport Success

In Taranaki Secondary School Sports events, we have been to the fore again with Jordan Linn winning he B grade section of the Squash Champs. This was the highest level played on the day. A small team of runners contested with the TSSSA Cross Country Champs in Hawera. River Stone ran very well to record a 4th place in the Junior Boys race. This is an outstanding result, given that there were 53 runners in total.

The recent Golf Champs saw Coastal come out as the winner, only to have the title taken away when it was discovered that one of the players had signed an incorrect scorecard. This was most unfortunate as the team had played exceptionally well in trying conditions and were worthy winners. However, this is the way it goes, and rules are rules, so it has become a valuable learning experience for the player concerned, and I’m sure it will never happen again.

Sports Report – Term 2, Week 9

Our Netball teams continue to display excellent skills and results, which is a credit to the high level of coaching they are receiving. The Senior Girls team have lost just one of their last five games, while the Year 6  team is maintaining its winning run.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Ralph and Mr. Normanton, our field hockey teams continue to thrive. The ‘A’ Team is unbeaten, while the ‘B’ team has put together some good wins also.

Our Year 5 and 6 Rugby and Netball teams have just finished playing in the NPPA competition. Unfortunately, we were not strong enough in most games, but be recorded great wins in both sports over St. Pius in the last round. The Year 7 and 8 Rugby and Netball competitions get underway next term with the first round of games against Auroa School on Friday, July 23 at Coastal.
