Silver Fern - Kelly Jury Visit

We were lucky enough to be nominated by our Enviro School Co-ordinator Alex to receive 20 new netballs and some Mother Earth muesli bars.

On Friday, some representatives from Mother Earth and Netball NZ/Waikato Netball, Alex, and Kelly Jury (Silver Fern) came to school to present us with these amazing resources!  Everyone enjoyed a muesli bar treat and the netballs will be added to our PE shed and Sports shed!

Our four netball teams were able to spend 45 minutes working with Kelly, Tash and others on their netball skills.  This learning was invaluable to our netball girls. 

We are so lucky to have great role models visit Hamilton East School and share their knowledge with us.

Netball Game - Year 3 and 4

Last week, our Year 3 and 4 team were disappointed when the other team didn't turn up.

They could have just gone home, but decided to have a fun game against some amazing parents who joined in!

Thank you to our Ham East All Stars supporters for making sure our girls got a game in and had a great time!

South East Cluster Winter Sports Tournament

On Friday of Week 9 we took 4 teams of HES sportspeople to a tournament. It was based at Waikato University, but some sports were also played at St John's and Knighton Normal School. 

Our rugby, netball, hockey and basketball teams played extremely well and represented HES with pride. 

What a fantastic day! 

The Geckos hockey team won half their games and drew half their games.

The rugby team scored 4 tries, and were only beaten by the team that won their pool.

The netball team won all their games except the final, and came 2nd overall.

The basketball team won half their games scoring 52 points during the day.

A special thanks to all the parent, teacher and adults who organise, attend, coach and support. We cannot do it without you.
