Hockey Centrals.

On the 24th August, the Cashmere Primary hockey team went forward to Centrals, getting placed at third equal.

They played 7 games against Springston, Clearview, Middleton, and many more schools in their pool before going forward to the semifinals against St Andrews. After a close loss of 3-0, Cashmere then went to play for 3rd against Tai Tapu. After a tight game and a tie Cashmere went home with 3rd equal in all of Canterbury.

CONGRATULATIONS HOCKEY….

“I was the organiser of last week's Canterbury hockey competition. 28 teams were involved.

The Cashmere Primary team stood out for me. The students were so positive, friendly and respectful. They were such a joy to be around. I was very happy to see them get third place.

You should be very proud of these students. They were great ambassadors for your school.”

Deputy Principal of Lyttelton Primary

YOU ROCKED!!!!!

On Thursday the 24th of August we headed down to the Hagley netball courts to compete in the Centrals winter tournament because we came second overall in South West Zones.

The team was made up of Holly Maraki, Mya Bennett, Amelia O'connell-Gerard, Belize McQuarrie, Libby Beasley, Lily Brooks, Milla Eathorne-Godfrey, Stasia Tapsell, Ava Barker and Georgia Rayner (not playing). We were all very excited to be playing but still quite nervous. We played a number games and played to the best of our ability. Overall we came fifth.

We would like to thank our coaches Janine Maraki and Paula Eden for all the coaching, help and encouragement throughout the season. And thanks to all the parents who have supported us along the way.

Our defence team did a wonderful job and the shooting was great. Everyone worked their very best and pushed to their limits. My coach always said, It doesn't matter about the results, it’s just about having fun.” And we did. We had played six games, we lost five and won one.
