Manners Maketh Man

Jesus reminds us to 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' Luke 6:31 so with the end of the season in site, I am requesting that we remind our players to say thank you to their Coach after every practice and game for the next few weeks.

I assisted at the Primary Sports photos this week and handed every Primary sporting student an ID card. There were some very polite students that did say thank you, unfortunately they were in the minority and a lot more had to be prompted. A little thank you goes a long way for our wonderful volunteers that are the back bone of sport at KingsWay School.

Manners maketh the man and woman!

Year 13 v Staff Hockey Game

This week the Year 13's challenged KWS staff to a hockey match. The staff were initially apprehensive and worried about keeping their teeth. However, with great umpiring from Mr Barnard who kept a tight rein on the game, the staff had nothing to worry about. The first goal was put in by Mr Budler followed by Mr Martin, Mr Price and Mr Schneider. The students sneaked Franki Thompson, an honorary Year 13 student for the match, who despite being KWS top goal scorer this year, could not help them. The staff's defence was too strong with Jess Good, from our Property team playing Kick Goalie. Despite numerous attempts at goal the students failed to score, with the staff winning 4-0. To see some video footage of the game please check out the sports Facebook page or Instagram page or see the photos below.

1st XI Hockey Boys

Well done to Franki Thompson who has scored 38 hockey goals this season for KingsWay and is the top scorer in the North Harbour Competition across all grades with 18 goals this round.

See our 1st XI Boys in action this week in a Clash of the Coast competition for the top of the table against Wentworth. The team is playing next Wednesday 9th August at 5.10pm at HBC Hockey Turf, Millwater. They would love you to pop along and support them. See you there!
