Sport Update

Unfortunately our Exchange against Epsom Normal was cancelled this week...winter has really set in.

There is a slight change to the schedule of games.

Instead of playing Victoria Avenue on Tuesday 29 May our opponents are Cornwall Park. Details to be confirmed.

Sport Exchange Tuesday 15 May

Our first exchange is against against Epsom Normal.

As Epsom has a large Year 5/6 team we are fortunate to be able to have most of our children playing against them.

The following is the organisation.

The children will eat lunch early at 11:50.
Uniform meetings will follow at 12:00 - the children are provided with a uniform which they change into, wear for their matches and then change back out of into their own school uniform before going home.

The buses are booked to leave here at 1:10p.m. so games can start at the various venues by 1:30. The return back to school is just before 3.

Soccer - games are to be held at Windmill Park
Netball - Windmill Road Courts
Rugby - Epsom Normal Primary School Field
Hockey - The Grammar Turf

Spectators are very welcome at these games however we can not take extra adults on our buses they are already at capacity.

It is important children bring all the gear they are required to provide, if they do not, unfortunately, they will not be able to travel.

Swimming Team

Congratulations to everyone who put themselves forward to trial for our swimming team. Unfortunately not everyone can make the team however all that did showed their competitive spirit.


The team is now selected and the following children will represent us at the Remuera Zone Swimming sports on Tuesday 20 March.
Year 6 girls - Sarah, Anna, Alice, Georgia and Abby
Year 5 girls - Ruby, Anna, Neve and Megan
Year 6 boys - Stephen, Christian, Ben and Jack
Year 5 boys - Jack, Harrison, Ben and Harry


We have three team practices scheduled and all the group are going to be doing some personal training.

Football Kidz

On Friday every child in the school had a half hour session with the coaching staff from Football Kidz. It was a fun, 'feet on' session. There was no charge and we appreciate this...in return Football Kidz will run skills clinic on our school field.

These sessions start on Wednesday 7th March and run for 5 weeks.
The timing is from 3:10 - 3:55p.m. and cost $40 per child.
The children will be organised into age groups.
