Term 3 Sport

Early next term we have the EZ Hockey, BS and EZ Gymnastics and EZ Netball (details are paged). The Ski Team trials will also be starting. Later on in the term we have the skiing, BS and EZ basketball, our own fund-raising cross country (plus the BS and EZ championships), rounded off with the Girls cricket!

Let's get these kids active! The gym entries close on Friday and this event cannot go ahead without parental help. Email Antony at antonyp@parnell.school.nz if you can assist with any of these fixtures.

Bay Suburbs Netball Tournament

Thanks to the teachers, parents and students who made the Bay Suburbs Netball Tournament run so smoothly on Wednesday.

A great result for the Kay Marshall coached Year 5 team, who showed tremendous character and spirit to fight back from 4-3 down to win the final, we are all very proud of them. The team they beat in the final currently play in Section 1 in the Year 5 Grade, so the girls should be very proud of their achievement. 

All other teams represented the school well but a special mention needs to go to those students who had never played netball before. Well done for giving it a go! 

Parnell hosted 11 schools, 60 teams and 580 players, on what was a very successful day only dampened slightly by the weather. Thanks again to the parents and caregivers for their work prior and during the tournament.
