Hockey Tournament At G.H.S


Throughout  term 2, some year 5, 6, 7 and 8 students trailed for a hockey team representing Gulf Harbour School.

On Thursday the 14th of June the year 5 and 6 went to Went Worth for their Hockey tournament. While the year 7 and 8 team played their tournament on our own Astro-Turf at GHS. The year five, and sixes had roughly 18 people which made two team’s, one team came 2nd and the other came 6th. They had about eight other teams join them, Silverdale, Stanmore Bay, Wentworth, Wainui, Red beach, Warkworth, Whangaparaoa and Orewa. The year 7 and 8 students only had four teams compete against.

One of the Year 6s was quoted saying the 'best part was coming in the top three teams'. The year seven and eight’s came third tying with Silverdale (team 2). The seven and eights versed 2 Silverdale teams, Stella Maris and Wainui. We had a great day!

GHS Sports Academy

Sports Academy is a program thats supports all different types of sports, e.g netball, basketball, softball and so many more. Sports academy not only helps students to develop their skills but also help focus on their daily responsibilities. This is all leading up to a big sports camp in end of this year 2012. We have had an awesome time so far in and it’s only term 2! It has been amazing! Sports Academy has been a high light for all the students involved. It’s fun, encouraging and challenging.

The academy gets together every Wednesday and works together as a team. They work their way through activities that Mrs. Taylor (Sports Academy teacher) has set up for us. Recently, We have been organising a Three day tournament inspired by the Olympics based in London including main sports like netball, cricket, basketball e.t.c. We have sent out invitations to schools and the finals will be held at the Wentworth College sports arena. Mrs.

Taylor invited a nutritionist to come in and explain what is the best food to keep your body strong, healthy and prepared for sport! We are all looking forward to the activities that are going to take place next term. We would like to say a BIG thank you to Mrs. Taylor for all the time and hard work that she puts into this program.
