Dear Students, Parents and Caregivers

With the closing of the Term once again upon us it is timely to take this opportunity on behalf of the sports department to wish all our families a safe and enjoyable break. In the first newsletter of the year we quoted the schools sporting motto”NA TE HAKINAKINA KIA KOTAHI AI TE WHANAU”, UNITING FAMILIES THROUGH SPORT. It is this partnership and the vital link with families we feel helps contribute most to success in sport. We are especially grateful with the culture of support which has permeated throughout this Term and look forward to this continued partnership throughout the remainder of the year. It is this contribution and community mindedness in and from individuals giving back to sport that is the foundation to our success.

Looking back through the previous newsletters of this Term we can reflect on many successes and great levels of participation from our students. Most notably the individual success of our Year 7 Boys Touch Team on their win in the PB/B.O.P competition and the NZ CUP Cricket Team on once again being crowned B.O.P champions. We have also found the first of our school champions in Swimming, Squash and Badminton. In addition to these many of our students have achieved through sporting endeavours and codes outside of the school.

Finally this week we farewelled Mr Brett Hampton on leave for Term Two and Three. Brett returns to Holland to continue his cricketing career. After scoring a large number of runs this season, Brett was a key contributor in the Bay of Plenty Cricket Team winning the Brian Dunning, Fergus Hickey Trophies and provincial cricket’s greatest prize the Hawke Cup. Brett is one of a large number of cricketers who leave these shores for a European summer and the chance to accelerate their growth and prospects in the sport and we wish him well with these endeavours.

WBOP SURFING REGIONALSOn Thursday 28th March 2013 the Tauranga Intermediate School surfers competed in the WBOP regional surfing contest at Tay Street Mount Maunganui. We achieved way beyond our personal bests as none of our team h a d c o m p e t e d i n a international rules surfing competition.

Several of our surfers progressed into the next rounds and our best result was f r o m C a i t l i n Fletcher who was a finalist in the Under13 girls. Her final result was fourth but she also took out the gutsiest surfer of the contest award for paddling her foam board out the back in a four foot groundswell and her great competitive attitude when surfing against the top 3

girls in the country.

NZ CUP BOYS CRICKETOur last match of this end of the season was against Aquinas College who won the toss and put us into bat first. We were off to a shaky start losing a few wickets, but this was steadied by Marcel Collett Rm 19 who ended up scoring 48 runs. With the help of some big hitting by Rhys Mischewski Rm 19, Beicjh Winter Rm 19 and Alex Smith Rm 37, we got through to 127/7 after the 20 overs.  

Aquinas college got off to the best possible start, being 57/0 after 10 overs. Scott Ellerington Rm 20 picked up a vital breakthrough, slowing the Aquinas run rate. Aquinas needed 10 runs off the last over. With two no balls and a wide, Aquinas needed 3 off the last ball and they got a two but getting run out whilst coming back for the third. This left the game in a tie. We ended up winning the game because they had more wickets in hand at the end of their 20 overs.

We are now the BOP Champs and take a break over the winter terms and play St Peters in Cambridge the first week in Term 4 who are the Waikato/Valley Champs.

FUTURE CHAMPIONSFuture Champions was held on Friday 5th April. This is a programme aimed to help develop young kids sporting skills from schools all over the Bay and, as the name suggests, help them become ‘Future Champions’.  This was a one day event held at Blake Park, with 12 different sports.

I did football, and it was a rewarding day where expert coaches shared their skills with us. As well as being taught new skills and drills, an informative nutrition session was included.

Did you know that a bag of chips has an unhealthy amount of fat, whereas rice crackers have virtually zero! Maybe its time for all those dedicated athletes to start swapping those chips for some nutritious rice crackers!

Another highlight of the day was when Natalie Peat, surf lifesaver and three time world record holder told us about her journey to success. She also shared a few quotes with us that mean a lot to her. One of them has really stuck with me. “Victory has defeated you”. This is what Bane says to Batman in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. Meaning, if you are on top, then to not just sit back and be proud of what you have achieved so far. Keep going, strive for more, and NEVER let victory defeat you.

Following our recent success at the 2013 NZ Championship in Dunedin we have decided to carry on with our competitive Under 13 team. We are now looking for new keen recruits to fill

our ranks for the 2013/2014 season.

• Marching is not an expensive sport but it does require time commitment from girls and parents as our season runs from June through until March each year.

• We compete most Saturdays from 1st November – 12th December. Break for 5 weeks over Xmas and then compete again every Saturday from 1st Feb – mid March.

• Team fees are $200 - $220 (can be paid off) and include all uniforms, travel gear, week-long National events etc… the only other major expense is your custom made leather bootsJ

• Some fundraising is involved such as sausage sizzles and movie nights.
