families that seriously struggle financially by assisting
with costs of uniform, camp, technology fees,

It’s a bit like softball for beginners. You can hit off a tee if you like, and
make up your own teams. This competition is all about having a go and
having some fun. There will be lunchtime coaching available for teams.
Talk to Sally.
This is organised through Sally but players are also welcome to contact
the Royals Softball Club to get into a team.
All players are welcome to contact the Royals Softball Club to get into a
team. This is not organised through school.
Sally can help with this and it is all school based and about introducing
hockey to NEW players. You can organise your own team, but no more
than 2 rep players in a team. No skill required and the rules are simple!
Whether swimming inside or out, it’s a great way to keep fit, healthy and
look good for the beach. Maybe a future as a life guard? Talk to Sally
about finding a club for you.
Sally will call for players for cricket. A great way to spend a Saturday
morning. Coaches and managers are also required.
Mr Linyard will be calling for interested players. Go and have a talk to him
today. As we are the only intermediate that has girl’s cricket teams we
play in the primary school boy’s league.
Speak to Ms Weir about this sport. She will be happy to put you in a team.
What’s more it is all inside so you won’t get wet!
Ring Saxton Stadium and speak to Tony to organise entry into this new
competition.
Richmond Athletics is held at Saxton Athletics Oval.

Hope: Mon and Thur 4.30-5.30pm. Waimea West: Tuesdays 4.15-5.15pm.
