Kia Ora all

We have a new addition to Our Awesome Athletes.

Today we have 4 talented Oakands Athletes to bring to you. Here is a picture, check out the Our Awesome Student page.

Keep the success stories rolling in. We have a huge number of talented athletes at Oaklands and we want to show them off to the community, and through this blog, the rest of the world.


Basketball

Trials are still going for some teams, completed for others. Students will know if they made the team by the end of this week at the latest.

We will supply successful students with match day details once we receive them from the Pioneer Basketball Club.

The hardest thing to do as a coach is to have to tell some students that they didn't make the team. Unfortunately there are always more students wanting to participate than there are places.

Winter Sport Trials

They take place this week. Year 5 / 6 students will trial on Wednesday and Year 7 / 8 students will trial on Thursday. From these trials we will select teams to go to the Friday afternoon Hagley Park Primary Schools Winter Sport competition.

Duathlon

Notices went home Friday for students who were selected for this event, to be held at Ruapuna Raceway on Wednesday, May 15th.
Interested students need to return their permission slips by THIS WEDNESDAY to the office or Mr F. in Room 5.

The notice also indicated that I will be heading down to Westlake Park after school on Monday and Thursday to do some training. Team members are welcome to attend. I will be leaving school at about 3:20pm and returning by 4:30pm.

Please email me at    grant.forman@oaklands.school.nz   if you have any questions.

Cheers
Mr F.
