WEDNESDAY SPORT

Mr. Mark Ealey —

Registrations

Canterbury has a unique school sports system where all schools in the Christchurch area finish at 2.35pm on a Wednesday so that all students can participate and play sport.

Wednesday sport is held in various venues across the city and if you would like your son to play a sport then it is his and your responsibility for him to be able to get to the different venues.

Sometimes there may be a staff member going, but they may not have room in their car for every team member.

No Wednesday sports teams will be able to play unless they have an adult in charge and the College is very reliant on parent help to transport students.

  • Term 1 and Term 4  Wednesday sport is dedicated to Summer Sports.
  • Term 2 and Term 3 Wednesday sport is dedicated to Winter Sports.

Most sports games start at 3.15pm, or later and run for six weeks during the term.

A reminder that registrations must be returned along with the fee to play that sport to the main school office by Tuesday 9 February. Games start on Wednesday 17 February. Permission forms for each sport are available now on a table outside the PE teachers' office in the gymnasium.

The following summer sports are available:

  • Softball
  • Bowls
  • Cricket
  • Futsal
  • Indoor Netball
  • Indoor Football
  • Mountain-biking
  • Summer Hockey
  • Tennis
  • Touch Rugby
  • Volleyball
  • Waka Ama
  • Water Polo
