Oroua Netball - 10th September

We would like to say a big thanks to Mrs Pratt who has offered to coach us, at the last minute, and we really appreciate this! We have been doing fitness based on netball skills for the last two weeks and are now starting to have practice games on the court. The Oroua Netball Tournament will be held on the 10th of September for Year 4 - 8 students. By Caleb J

Cross Country Training

We run every day around the field, out the gate and back around the road to school. Each circuit is 500 metres. It depends how old we are as to how many laps we do. We are running slightly longer distances than the race will be so that we are well prepared. We try to improve our time each day.

Hockey

Right now we are doing a movie explaining how being active is really important. We are showing how redesigning the sports shed has encouraged people to be more active at school. We think this is because it is easier to find the equipment we need. Senior students have been practising hockey every morning tea and lunchtime. We would like to thank Vaughan and Kate for helping us with our hockey training. - By Nastia
