SPORT UPDATE

It was great to see the boys training this week, as they all enjoyed being out there having fun which is the most important part of sport.

Most regional sports organisations are planning on getting their sport up and running around the 20 June, but we are still waiting on the Government, Sport NZ, and the Christchurch City Council to work out how we are going to track and trace venues that have various access to them, and how you can police only having 100 people on the side-line and does that number include players and coaches! As you can see, there is still a lot of work to be done around 100 at gatherings, especially on the sports field.

But I think tracking and tracing could be with us for a wee while yet.

As there is still uncertainty regarding tracking and tracing, I would ask if parents can please follow the school guidelines of not attending practices and picking your boys up in the car parks after practices. St Bede’s College appreciates your support in doing this.

WEDNESDAY SPORT

School Sport Canterbury is trying to work in with regional sporting organisations in starting their sport around the 20 June, but more clarity on this will depend on what the Government announces on the 8 June.

School Sport Canterbury are looking at an app for track and tracing that can be used in all school gyms and playing fields.

Please be assured that Wednesday Sport should take place for all of Term 4. This includes Friday night Basketball and Junior 1st XI Football, Squash, Badminton, Table tennis etc.

SURFING

With the increase in gathering numbers, the 2020 Canterbury Scholastic Surf Champs (winter trial) is set to take place on Sunday 7 June. 

The winter training squad determines the Canterbury Scholastics Surf Team that will travel to Kaikoura this year.
