Friday sport is now all organised and ready to go. Hopefully we will get a fine day for tomorrow. There have been many question around what is happening with the students who are remaining behind. As previously stated in the sports notices, all schools have been restricted in the number of teams they can enter due to the damage the February Earthquake has caused to Hagley Park.
Bryan Brown (Oaklands School's Sports Coordinator) has been arranging with Halswell School a sports competition for those children remaining behind. Halswell School is in a similar position to us with 100+ students not going to Friday Sport.
This is a very quick run down of how it will work.
- Oaklands and Halswell have roughly the same amount of students left over (100 - 120). Each school will split their left overs into 6 teams of yr 5-8 mixed teams,(about 20-24).
- The 6 teams from Halswell will play a rotation of sports against the 6 teams from Oaklands.
- The sports are netball, football, rippa rugby, volleyball, hockey and basketball.
- This will be run as a competition - 5pts for a win, 3pts for a draw and 1pt for a loss with a further 2pts for any team that shows fair play,(sportsmanship) on the day.
- The interchange between Halswell and Oaklands will only happen every second week to allow the students to have skill sessions at school.
- Volleyball will be played at Halswell as well as one netball game.
- Basketball will be played at Oaklands as well as one netball game.
- Hockey, football and rippa rugby will be at the domain.
Our aim is to have all students involved in a meaningful sport competition in this difficult time
