Trans-Tasman Cricket Festival Programme 8
History of the Trans-Tasman Cricket FestivalThe inaugural Trans-Tasman Cricket Festival was hosted by Christ’s College in 1999. The concept was to have New Zealand and Australian traditional cricketing schools with similar values play a festival of tough and exciting cricket. It was deliberately designed as a ‘Festival’ – no winners are declared from the week’s play.
The original teams involved were King’s College (Auckland), Christ’s College (Christchurch), Otago Boys’ High School, and Shore School (Sydney). Brisbane Boys’ College replaced Otago Boys’ High School in 2000. This was followed by Canberra Grammar School replacing Brisbane Boys’ College in 2001.
Each school takes a turn at hosting the Festival. It is an event that all participating schools look forward to each year with much anticipation. Long may the Festival continue.
About the participating schools King’s College
Founded in 1896 by Mr Graham Bruce, King’s College, is a leading independent school situated in Otahuhu, New Zealand.
With a roll of just over 1000 students, boys and girls, the College prides itself on providing “the best all-round education it is possible to attain.” This central ideal is a core motivator for the College, enabling the development of an explicit all-round education philosophy which puts its students at the centre of everything it does.
The College promotes excellence in Art, Culture and Sport, and its teachers work with talented students who can choose to sit NCEA and CIE Examinations, or a combination of both, as well as Scholarship examinations.
In 2016, King’s welcomed two significant, and hugely successful, innovations for boarding and day students – the introduction of Year 11 girls, and Te Pūtake Lodge, a special boarding venue for Year 9 boys.
Trans-Tasman Cricket Festival Programme 9
King’s has a strong and innovative model of pastoral care for its students, with each House providing a sense of belonging and inclusion within the College, be it for boarders or day students. At the physical and spiritual heart of it all, is the Chapel, and the extensive community service programme which it leads.
All this combined, enables King’s students to go on to graduate with the greatest potential to be successful in life.
King’s is also one of the leading colleges for secondary school cricket in New Zealand. It boasts several Auckland Championships and five national titles. Current high profile Black Caps include Tim Southee and Mark Craig.
Christ’s College
Christ’s College, an Anglican school, was developed as part of the founding of Christchurch and Canterbury in 1850. Situated on the edge of the earthquake-hit centre of Christchurch, Hagley Park, and the Botanic Gardens, the College’s black and white uniform is one of Christchurch’s most enduring images. The College has a roll of around 600 boys.
Cricket is one of the College’s major sports. Most matches are played on a delightfully picturesque Hagley Park, which is within walking distance from the College. Christ’s College boasts a proud cricketing history with old boys including New Zealand’s first test Captain, Tom Lowry; former New Zealand Captain, and Coach of India’s cricket team, John Wright; and recent Black Cap, Peter Fulton.
For Christ’s College, the New Zealand Cricket season begins with the Trans-Tasman Cricket Festival. This plays an important role in preparing a brand new team for the competitive Christchurch Schools’ First XI competition and traditional fixtures against Christchurch Boys’ High School, Otago Boys’ High School, and Wanganui Collegiate School. Recent cricket highlights have included tours of England (2009, 2012), National Runners-up at the Gillette Cup (2011), Regional Gillette Cup finalists (2013, 2014) and winners of the Canterbury School’s One-Day Championship in 2014.
Shore School
Situated on the North Shore of Sydney Harbour, Shore School (formerly the Sydney Church of England Grammar School) was founded in 1889. Shore has been a member of the Athletic Association of Greater public schools (AAGPS) since its inception in 1893.
Trans-Tasman Cricket Festival Programme 10
Shore has a rich cricket history, and has produced a number of Australian test cricketers, including HV ‘Rangi’ Horden, Australia’s first ‘googly’ bowler; and the great all-rounder of the post-World War One period, Jack Gregory, whose record for the fastest Test Century – 70 minutes off 67 balls – against South Africa in 1921, stood for more than 60 years and is still the third fastest Test Century of all time in terms of balls faced. Shore’s most recent Test cricketer was wicket keeper Phil Emery, one of only a handful of players to have made more than 100 appearances for New South Wales. Shore’s most recent first class representatives are Jon Moss (1992) and James Packman (1997). Moss played 80 First Class games for Victoria and Derby between 2000 and 2007, including a Pura Cup victory in 2005-06, while Packman played an important part in New South Wales’ victory in the Pura Cup in 2004-05, scoring his maiden First Class Century against Western Australia, en route to the Final.
Shore has had a good deal of success in the GPS Competition in recent years, winning four GPS First XI Premierships between 2007-08 and 2012-13. In addition, the 2009-10 team were undefeated runners-up.
Canberra Grammar School
Founded in 1929, Canberra Grammar School is the leading Anglican boys’ school in the capital city of Australia. It is also a leading fully co-educational early learning and infant’s school, giving it a total enrolment of more than 1600 students. Girls may spend up to six years of their schooling (Pre-school – Year 2) at Canberra Grammar.
Canberra Grammar is also a fine boarding school. Boys who become Canberra Grammar boarders hold a special place in the history and daily life of the School – their boarding experience becomes a special part of who they are. The School warmly welcomes boys and young men from around the corner, from interstate, and overseas. The School community includes business, farming and diplomatic backgrounds, from rural and regional Australia, Asia and the Pacific. More than 50 nationalities are represented at the School.
At Canberra Grammar, dedication to academic excellence goes hand-in-hand with individual care for each student; history and tradition meet up-to-date facilities and methods; the values of a caring Christian community underpin an education of the whole person – intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
