value of reading
HILLMORTON HIGH’S middle
school students got a new-found
appreciation for reading from All
Black loose-forward Ardie Savea,
on Thursday.
The year 7 to 10 pupils held
an assembly where Savea and
two Crusader All Blacks Jack
Goodhue and Scott Barrett had a
question and answer session.
Principal Ann Brokenshire
said it was the answer to the final
question which had the biggest
impact.
“The last question was ‘do you
read books?’,” she said.
“Ardie answered and said when
he was their age he couldn’t read,
but since he has learnt he has
loved it.
“I think that caught a few of
our students off guard.”
The All Blacks trio were joined
by Wigram MP, Dr Megan
Woods.
The All Blacks played a
game of three halves against
Canterbury and Otago selections
in Christchurch on Friday night
in the lead-up to the Rugby
Championship.
After performances of the
school song and a kapa haka
performance, the rugby players
ran a skills session on the school’s
tennis courts.
“It was an amazing experience,”
she said.
“I think a number of the senior
students saw what was going on
and snuck in amongst it as they
were feeling rather jealous that
the middle school got this experience,”
Mrs Brokenshire said.

CASHMERE HIGH School’s
trophy cabinet is starting to
look rather full with both the
boys first XI football team and
premier basketball team getting
their hands on the Connetics
Shield and Dowson Cup
respectively.
Both trophies are played for
like rugby’s Ranfurly Shield
with the boys football winning
the shield for the first time
since 2016, last week thanks to
a 2-1 win over St Thomas’ of
Canterbury.
The boys basketball team have
had a firm grip on the Dowson
Cup, since it was introduced into
the regular season.
Cashmere High School beat
Burnside High School for it in
May last year and have held it
since.
Cashmere currently sits on
top of the division one table
while the football team are
firmly entrenched in the top
four.
Previously the Dowson Cup,
named after the family shoe
company, was a preseason
accolade.
Both teams will be looking to
hold off the challengers for the
remainder of the season and
secure the respective trophies for
the summer.
The goal for both teams will
then be to reach the final in
their local competition before
their focus shifts towards
tournament week in September
and October.
The national boys football will
be played in Christchurch while
the boys basketball team are
travelling to the South
Island Championships in
Invercargill.
Football coach Craig Squire
said his team’s effort and desire
on defence had been a positive
so far this year.
“While Cashmere teams in
the past have always been team
which could score goals, often
our defence was quite leaky,” he
said.
Squire said the aim of his
team was to win the competition
and he believed after that result,
the team would gain plenty of
confidence.
The basketball team is
undefeated through nine games
and look set to have a good
chance to win back-to-back
titles.
They defeated St Bede’s
College 121-65 in their last
round-robin game.
