Congratulations to Seren Williams & Camryn Birley!!!

2011-11-01T16:01:00.000-07:00

A great big congratulations to Seren Williams & Camryn Birley for their achievements in the Coast soccer tournament.

Below is the article that was in the Hibiscus Matters Paper this week.

Guts and determination is behind the recent victory of a Coast soccer team in a national tournament.

The Hibiscus Ice Angels took the title of 10th Grade Norwest National Girl’s champions – a feat that coach Grant Birley says meant playing their heart and soul out for the full three days of the tournament (October 14–16).

The tournament, played at Huapai Reserve, is in its second year, and last year the Ice Angels placed third.

Eight teams, the majority from Auckland and surrounding areas, took part in the championship, which is organised by Norwest Football Club.

The Ice Angels is made up of some of the top 10-year-old players from Hibiscus Coast Association Football Club. The team faced Three Kings in the final, after a semi-final match against Bay Olympic that coach Grant Birley described as requiring all the true grit that the team could muster.

The final was deadlocked at 0-0 at full time and stayed deadlocked for extra time too. Both teams scored their first five penalties, which meant they went into sudden death. It was only on Three Kings 12th penalty that Hibiscus goalkeeper, Camryn Birley, pulled off the first save of the shootout. She went on to save the next two penalties and although Hibiscus also missed their next two penalties, Kara Drinnan stepped up and scored the winning points.
It took a total of 28 nail-biting penalties for the winners to be decided.

As well as the winners’ trophy, team member Aneka Mittendorff was selected as the Player of the Final and Camryn Birley was awarded the Hibiscus team’s Player of the Tournament.

North Harbour Sport Basketball Competition

2011-09-20T19:26:00.000-07:00

On Thursday the 25th of August our Year 7 and 8 girls basketball team competed in the North Harbour Basketball competition.

The whole team worked extremely well together and this showed that they had improved in each and every game. By the 3rd game of the day our girls were rearing to go and worked much better as a team. They were able to get some good possession and managed to win the third game with great defensive work.

   Even though they didn't come first place they still had an awesome time and never gave up.
   It was a pleasure training the girls, they were a very dedicated bunch and always willing to
   learn new techniques.
   As a Hibiscus Coast coach - I was impressed with the level of the girls skills and look forward
   to helping your school in the future to ensure girls basketball continues to grow.

2011 Intermediate Schools Rippa Tournament

2011-08-25T02:03:00.000-07:00

Our Year 7 and 8’s recently participated in the Intermediate Schools Rippa Tournament at the North Harbour Stadium grounds.

We were a little apprehensive in approaching the day especially in knowing our first game up was against Northcross Intermediate.

But our nerves soon vanished when we realised we were ably competitive in matching up to the skills of and size of the opposition.

The Gulf Harbour team showed commendable tenacity and team spirit throughout the tournament.

They won their match against Mahurangi College and drew against Whangaparaoa College. Even though they lost their other two matches they certainly came off the field knowing they were up to the challenge.

A special ‘ups’ to the Year 6 girls, Holly Skinner, Camryn Birley and Sune Louw who joined the team for the day and to Liam Clark for his determined leadership of the team.

We would like to express our gratitude to the parents who helped out with transport.

A Great Cricket Session!

2011-08-24T02:50:00.000-07:00

On Monday we had a great cricket session with Dave Evans. He taught us to throw and catch a cricket ball. Dave Evans was from Auckland Cricket and worked with the year 1 to 4s. We played a cool game where you try to hit cricket wickets as hard as you can and knock them down faster than the other team. We had a small game to finish it off. Dave gave out bags with lots of cricket stuff in them like famous cricket player cards, dice cricket and posters. We even got some Milo!

Maybe you would like to play cricket this summer. Here’s the local club...

Auckland 'Basketball Tournament'

2011-08-16T19:43:00.000-07:00

The Hibiscus Coast Under 13’s Girls Basketball Team was formed after four years of the Coast not having any girls teams at representative level. None of the girls in this years’ squad have any prior representative level experience but all the girls worked very hard on their individual skills and as a team to improve.

Recently the team participated in the Auckland ‘Inter-City Basketball Tournament’, where 9 teams based from within the greater Auckland area participated in a fierce competition over seven weeks. This tournament was a great build up in preparation for the BBNZ Age Group Premierships hosted at the North Shore Events Centre during the weekend of 5-7 August.

The girls commitment and team work came together to secure a hard fought 4^th placing at the Prems, making themselves eligible to compete in the BBNZ Age Group Nationals Tournament”, being held in Napier over the week of October 7 - 21, 2011.

This is the first girls’ representative team from the Hibiscus Coast to make Nationals and the coaches and parents are very proud of the girls

Big congratulations to Leilani Schmidt-Geen, Mia Cunningham-South and Jazmin Tufuga for representing Gulf Harbour School as part of this outstanding achievement and best of luck to them all for the Nationals.

A Chilly Day at the Year 7 and 8 Netball Zone Day

2011-08-16T00:53:00.000-07:00

2 Teams of Gulf Harbour Yr 7 & 8 students attended the 2011 Intermediate Netball Zone Day held by Carmel College at Netball North Harbour on Tuesday 16th August.

They braved the extreme weather to compete with other Intermediate Schools in the area and have some fun along the way.

Whilst our Year 7 team finished the day with a full team, our 'unlucky' Year 8 team had several injuries but fought back in the end to win their last game of the day, showing great team work with a few of our Yr 7 students who pitched in to help complete their team.

Again, we couldn't come to these events without some fantastic, supportive parents (thanks to Wendy, Lee, Cassandra & Caroline) and thanks to the students who attended for giving it their all in pretty tough conditions!

North Harbour Hockey Tournament

2011-08-04T15:46:00.000-07:00

The Year 7/8 students went to Rosedale Park on Thursday the 23rd of June to compete in the North Harbour Hockey tournament.

We played four fun filled but challenging games against Albany Junior High, Takapuna Normal Intermediate, Murrays Bay Intermediate and Mahurangi College.

Throughout the day we worked hard to improve our passing which helped us to get the ball into the other teams striking circle.

Our team showed great sportsmanship by supporting and cheering on other teams.

We would like to thank all of the parent helpers that supported us at this event, you made this day possible.

Rippa Rugby Rulz !

2011-07-05T18:58:00.000-07:00

Recently we had two teams competing in the North Harbour Schools Rippa Rugby Tournament. Both teams competed admirably, winning their fair share of games.The players involved are to be commended for their resilience, skill and most importantly outstanding sportsmanship.

GHS was also represented in an invitational tournament held at the North Harbour Stadium. The best school teams throughout North Harbour were in involved in this event and were vying for a place in the Rippa World cup competition to be held in conjunction with the other big event soon to happen.

Our team gave outstanding performances in their bid to make the final but were unfortunately pipped at the post by the team that eventually made the final.

Many thanks to the enthusiastic band of supporting parents in both tournaments and your transportation of the teams to the events is much appreciated.

In all we were very proud of our achievements on the field. Well done teams!

Each team played twice and they all grew in confidence as the games went on. In every game we scored goals and our school's Player of the Day was Ashleigh Nelson who got picked by the other coaches and refs.

It was a great day and the team are looking forward to the North Harbour Hockey tournament next week.
