SPORTS INFORMATION - WEEK 1

Jolene Casey —

See below for all of the links for our sports draws and the school sports website. ALSO a great sports gear donation collection that we are running this term.

For Term 3 all 3 of our main winter codes, miniball, netball and hockey continue through most of this term too. Nearer the end of this term we will be opening registrations for Touch, Futsal, Flippa Ball and T Ball, keep an eye out for these.


SPORTS GEAR DONATIONS


We are seeking donations of sports gear that's in good condition, so it can have a new life with a child who needs it.  

We are collecting your unused sports gear to give it a new lease of life for children and families who need it.  We are working in conjunction with the "Cadbury Donate your Sports Gear" campaign to ensure every child who wishes to play sport is given that opportunity without any barriers.

Sports gear we need includes:

  • Team sports equipment e.g. bibs, balls, bats
  • General training equipment
  • Kit for cricket, softball, football, rugby, hockey, netball etc
  • Football and rugby boots
  • Sports bags
  • General sportswear in good condition

If you have sports gear you would like to donate to this very worthy cause, please drop it into the school office or contact Jolene Casey at school.  Our first priority will to be help the children and families at our own school and then any surplus gear will be donated to the Charity collection.  Equally if you are in need of some sports gear to enable your child to take part in sport, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.


Hockey

Miniball

The Taieri Miniball website has the draw each week:- https://www.sporty.co.nz/taieriminiball

The policy with SNOW DAYS for miniball is that if schools are closed on that day, there is NO Miniball for that day. If it is a late start, then miniball continues as normal after school.

ALL children NEED a mouth guard to play miniball, so please ensure you have this ready to go.

Feel free to send through any game reports and / or photos of your teams in action. :-)
