Getting our swim swag on!

T1 Wk 8

Today 13 students formed SPS's Tamaki Cluster Swim Team.  They ranged from Yr 4's all the way to Yr 8's and despite their various skill levels each swimmer showed great courage, commitment and perseverance.

Several of our swimmers reached their finals and we achieved some great placings.  Those students include Milania, Preston, Mikaera, Charlize and Maedana.

Here is a great video that Milania and Charlize have produced that sums up our day beautifully.

Cracking Cluster Cricket with Mr Cowlrick!

T1 Wk 7

It's been another busy week for sport here at SPS.  Not only did we attend the Auckland Interzones for Softball but we also attended the Tamaki Cluster Cricket Tournament on the Wednesday.

Over the last few weeks the teams have been training hard with Mr Cowlrick and their effort and commitment certainly showed throughout the day's tournament.

Stand out players have been given Sports Awards at this week's assembly for not only their great cricket skills but also their ability to work with their team.  Congratulations to David Penjueli, R15, Chiko Pitman, R17 and Divek Nadan from R18.

Overall results were
Yr 5's - First
Yr 6's - Third
Yr 7 & 8's - Fourth

Well done teams!!!

Also many thanks to our parent help for the day's tournament, Mary Green and again to Mr Cowlrick.

And we are all right behind the Black Caps quarter final game tomorrow!

Interzone Auckland Softball Champs

Week 7: Term 1

On Tuesday the year 7 and 8 boys softball team competed in the Interzone Softball Champs at Rosedale Park on the North Shore. They had some tough competition but came close to a win against Bucklands Beach Intermediate but ran out of time. Everyone tried their best with the outfielders taking some great catches towards the end of the day. We look forward to competing again next year!

All about TAG!

On Tuesday 35 students walked to Thompson Park for the Eastern Zone Tag tournament. There were only a few schools participating but it was still a tough competition. Each team played about 6 games and all the students were pretty tired by the end of the day. 

We had some great results with the girls and boys silver team coming third and boys maroon coming 4th. 

Also thanks to all the parent supporters who came on the day to encourage our students and a special thanks to Darrell and Mary for coaching the teams along with Mr C

Great work everyone!

THE CAPTAINS!

THE TEAMS AND COACHES

A successful week at Softball

T1 Wk 5

On Tuesday the boys and girls softball teams attended the Eastern Zone tournament held at Auckland Domain.  It was an awesome day where both teams played up to 6 games of softball.  The girls placed fourth overall and our boys came out as OVERALL WINNERS!!!

They played Point England School in the final and even though it was very even they managed to come out on top.  A huge thanks to Mrs Key and Mr C for all their support and coaching in leading up to the tournament and also to Sandy, Mrs Key's mum, whom was a key supporter and coach on the actual day.  

Eastern Zone Boys Softball Champions!!!

We also had Nicola and Shawn from Sport Auckland come in on Friday as part of their community consultation for KiwiSport funding and had a feedback session with some of our Yr 6, 7 and 8's.  Our students' responses will help to provide important feedback for KiwisSport funding.  All this will help to ensure Sport Auckland are providing the right sporting opportunities that meet the needs of our community.   Thanks to all those students that took part.

Lastly congratulations to the following players whom have made our EZ TAG teams - their competition will be held next Tuesday 10th March at Thompson Reserve.  These teams have been also busy training at lunchtimes.  Great stuff!!!
