We had a busy week of sports last week with the TSSA Cross Country, Miniball semi finals, the end of the hockey season celebrations and a visit for some lucky Rm 1&2 children from the Southern Hoiho Women's Basketball team.

Congratulations to all our miniball players who have played this season. A special congratulations to our Yr 4 Lakers team who will play in their Yr 4 second division final this afternoon at 4pm and the Yr 5/6 Sharks and Hawks who will play each other in the Yr 5/6 Division 3 final on Tuesday afternoon. Good luck to Yr 2/3 Shooters who are playing off for 3rd and 4th in Yr 3 Division 1 section after a narrow 2 goal loss in the semi finals last week. And finally good luck to our Yr 2/3 Knicks who are playing off for 3rd and 4th in the Yr 2/3 Division 2 grade. 

Hockey has now finished for the season. It looks like your final game/ blue and gold celebration day was lots of fun!

Good luck to our netball girls who will be playing their last game of the season this Saturday.

Summer Sport Registrations will be on the website at the beginning of Week 8 until the end of the term. If your child is interested in playing a Summer Sport in Term 4, please ensure you register them during this two week period that is coming soon. I will post the registration links in the newsletter, on the school sports website and on the school facebook page.

Children who are interested in playing cricket, I am still waiting information from Cricket Otago to see if they are running a Taieri Hub this year. I will update you as soon as I hear back from them.
