SPORT AT TAURANGA INTERMEDIATE 2015

Transcription

1 ! 30 January 2015 Dear Parents/Caregivers and Students SPORT AT TAURANGA INTERMEDIATE 2015 We are very passionate about sport at Tauranga Intermediate from participation all the way through to top competition with the NZCT AIMS GAMES being the pinnacle of our sporting Calendar in September. We are very fortunate to have outstanding sporting facilities at our school. Our TECT Gym features an indoor netball court, a basketball court, 5 badminton courts, kiwi volleyball and full size volleyball courts, a squash court, a fitness centre, a rock climbing and bouldering wall. The recent replacement of our turf which has 4 tennis courts/4 netball courts also hockey and football field markings. Last year we totally upgraded our cricket nets and turf so we are very well equipped. We are also pleased to welcome back Brett Hampton who will be assisting in our sports department. His background is cricket and tennis but talented and experienced in most sports and provides a great role model for our students. We also have wonderful staff who give their discretionary commitment to sport in at least one code or more as well as a supportive parent and whanau community. This newsletter is to inform you about the sports that we have on offer at Tauranga Intermediate and how you can get involved in them from Day 1. You are only at our school for two short years, so you need to make the most of opportunities, by committing yourself to attend meetings and practices and you will have a lot of fun and meet lots of new friends. We are such a large school and often communication is difficult but I encourage any student that wishes to get fully involved, to ensure they read our Daily Notices available in every classroom, first thing every morning on the school computer intranet. These notices always have messages regarding meetings, practices etc. and is always our first port of call when trying to get information out to students with regards to sports. Please encourage your child to attend any meetings so that they receive the information, even if they are not sure how keen they are from the beginning go along, get the information and then make a decision.

2 During this first term we offer the following team sports that are played weekly throughout the term cricket, volleyball and waterpolo - more information on days, times and fees can be found on the attachment. As there is only such a limited timeframe to get these teams up and running, you must return your permission slips and money by the due date. There are also opportunities to do surfing, tennis and squash coaching, golf, gymnastics, trampoline, tae kwon do, hip hop and cheerleading lessons at school as well. Also during Term 1 we hold our school swimming sports (3rd March) and compete in the BOP Golf inter-school tournament. We also belong to the Bay of Plenty/Poverty Bay Intermediate Association and the competitions they run during this term are Tennis, Surfing, Touch Rugby, an Open Water Swim and Swimming Champs. We also hold our own tennis and squash champs at school this term. Trials for our winter sports teams will also commence this term. Over the winter terms we usually have around 16 netball teams playing on Saturdays, 10 basketball teams play on a Monday and 8 hockey teams that play Friday nights. There are also opportunities for rugby, football, mountain biking, indoor climbing, indoor bowls, squash, cross country, canoe challenge, ultimate frisbee and the list goes on. The Sports Office is located in the entrance of the gymnasium and all permission slips, money, uniforms relating to Sports are handed in there. If the office is unattended there is a letter-box in the door for money and slips. Please ensure it is clearly labelled.
