Level 2 Basketball Guidelines for the Bishopdale YMCA Competition

August 19, 2020

The Friday evening Bishopdale Basketball competition will continue during Alert Level 2 under the following procedures and guidelines

  • Spectators: to ensure the YMCA keeps under the 100 person limit, only one caregiver/spectator per player can enter the stadium. The caregiver the accompanies their child into the stadium must social distance in the stands and not congregate when watching the game.
  • The YMCA will have a staff member on the door to advise teams when entry is allowed. Teams will not be allowed to enter the stadium until the games beforehand have been completed and the students have exited the stadium (this will be less than 5 minutes before tip-off).
  • Contact Tracing: Mr Evers will mark a register each week to keep a record of both the players in attendance and the parent/caregiver who accompanies them. If your child is unable to attend for any reason, caregivers must inform Mr Evers via email before 11:00am on Fridays.
  • Meeting point: Mr Evers will take down a Heaton school flag and place this in an area close to the entrance as a meeting point for our Heaton teams. Heaton teams are not to mix with other schools outside the entrance when waiting to enter the stadium
  • Entry: Teams will enter the YMCA via the main stadium entrance, and the caregiver that accompanies that player must enter with their son/daughter. In order for the competition to continue, we must be prompt. If a caregiver arrives late they will have to remain outside the stadium. 
  • Exit: Teams will exit the stadium via the emergency fire exit (as indicated by YMCA staff)
  • Sanitisation: any person who enters the stadium will be expected to sanitise their hands before entry.
  • Mouthguards: are not to be removed during games. Hands must be sanitised after putting your mouthguard in (Mr Evers will provide hand-sanitiser for our Heaton teams)
  • Game times: games will be shorted by 2 minutes to ensure there is sufficient time to empty the stadium between each match.
  • Handshakes: there will be no handshakes at the end of each game. Players will give a quick three cheers and then exit the stadium promptly
  • Sickness: If your child is sick, they must stay at home
  • Transport to the venue (early game): If your son/daughter is scheduled to play the early game (3:30pm) and you are unable to transport them to the YMCA, Mr Evers can take them to the venue. To secure a position in the school van parents/caregivers must email Mr Evers prior to 11:00am on Fridays. Transport assistance cannot be provided to any student that has a game time of 4:00pm or later, as students cannot wait in the stadium or outside the venue.
  • Transport (pick up): Students must leave the YMCA with a caregiver directly after their game has finished and not remain outside to congregate in groups. Players will be marked off a register to ensure they have been collected. We appreciate that prompt student collection may be challenging (particularly with earlier games), however, this is a sacrifice we need to make to ensure the competition can continue. If you are unable to collect your child directly after their game, you must arrange to carpool with another parent/caregiver. Please inform Mr Evers via email if your son/daughter is going home with another adult before 11:00am on Fridays so he can keep accurate records and ensure safe collection for all Heaton players. Alternately, if you are allowing your son/daughter to make their own way home from Bishopdale (walk, scooter etc.) this must also be communicated to Mr Evers weekly.

Heaton Cross Country 2020

June 24, 2020
The Heaton cross country races are a house event that focuses on participation, fun and involvement. All students are expected to take part in their designated race. All we ask is for you to try your best!

DATE: Tuesday 28th July (Term 3, Week 2)

VENUE: Elmwood Park (as a result of field flooding)

MARSHALING: The race will be organised, set-up, timed and marshaled by our Heaton sports leaders. Year 7 Sports leaders will coordinate the year 8 races, and year 8 sports leaders will coordinate the year 7 races. This event provides an opportunity for our sports leaders to take on the responsibility of coordinating a race, so please be patient and considerate.

When year levels arrive at Elmwood Park, the students that are competing in the first races (Yr.8 Girls, Yr.7 Girls) are required to meet on the grass marshalling area that will be marked out next to the Elmwood cricket nets. The students that are waiting for their race will support their peers from the spectator area (on the grass in front of the big tree closest to the bowling green). N.B. If the grass is very wet in the morning, the spectator area will be moved closer to the club rooms.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS (WHAT DO I WEAR?): Students must ensure they have the following equipment with them on race day. Please note there is a scheduled full-school assembly after our scheduled races so it is really important you read the equipment requirements carefully. As year 8 students have the first races and the scheduling is tight, students can arrive in their house colours so we can begin promptly.

  • Heaton PE Kit (shorts and shirt)
  • Suitable running shoes – the majority of the course will be on paths so no spikes 
  • Spare pair of shoes and socks (they will likely get wet or muddy)
  • Water bottle
  • Warm Jacket to wear prior and after your race
  • Coloured house shirt and shorts (if students wish to run in their house colours)
  • All relevant personal medication e.g. ventolin
  • A bag to store any wet and muddy clothing
  • Your Hagley sport kit that you will need for the afternoon e.g. rugby kit, netball uniform

COMPETITIONS: The Heaton Cross Country is a shield event. Students will earn the following house points for taking part and for their final placings:

  • 1st = 20 points
  • 2nd = 15 points
  • 3rd = 10 points
  • 4th – 10th = 5 points
  • 11th- 20th = 3 points
  • 21st – 30th = 2 points
  • 31st + = 1 point

Based on the race results (placings and times), the top 10 students from each gender/year level will be invited to represent Heaton at the Cross Country Championships, held at the Halswell Quarry in term 3

MEETING / DEPARTURE TIMES:

  • Sports Leaders: All year 7 sports leaders are required to meet Mr Evers at Elmwood Park  at 8:00am. Please be prompt as we need to mark out and set up the course. The year 8 sports leaders will come to school as usual and come over to the park in their house groups as these students will be responsible for pack up.
  • Year 8: An earlier bell time of 8:30am will sound on the day of the cross country. Can Yr. 8 class teachers please complete the roll promptly and then walk their class to Elmwood park via Heaton st. 
  • Year 7: Can year 7 classes teachers please leave Heaton at 9:30am to walk their class to Elmwood park via Heaton st. When you approach the park and enter via the gates next to the bowling greens, please be mindful that the Yr.8 boys race will still be in progress. You may have to wait in this area for 5 minutes before moving to the marshalling spot.

RACE TIMES: Please note that race times may be subject to change depending on weather, arrival times at the park and race completion times. Parents/caregivers are very welcome to attend this event to support you. 

  • Year 8 Girls: 9:00am
  • Year 8 Boys: 9:25am
  • Year 7 Girls: 9:50am

2020 Heaton Basketball Schedule – Term 2

May 18, 2020

Welcome back Heaton Basketball enthusiasts! 

As things are currently a little different in our wider community and at school in regards to sport, we cannot organise our traditional Heaton basketball trials to select our teams that play at Bishopdale on Friday evenings. As an alternative, Mr Evers will be holding daily House Basketball sessions at lunchtimes (12:45pm – 1:15pm), for all those students who expressed their interest last term.

The Basketball sessions will take place in the Heaton hall, except for on Thursday where 1/2 of the outdoor court will be used due to Kapa Haka. Students must hand-sanitise both on entry and exit to the hall, and the equipment will be cleaned by Mr Evers after each session. The activities that will take place will be non-contact based, to adhere to our school social distancing procedures.

Based on these sessions over the next six weeks, Mr Evers will select 6 boys teams and 2 girls teams that will be invited to represent our school in the YMCA competition. At this stage, we have not received any news from the YMCA regarding when the competition will begin and how it will be structured. As soon as we have any updates, I will keep you all posted.

To find out if you have registered for theses sessions and to access the house schedule, please select the link below:

CJCA Cricket Tournaments 2020

March 16, 2020

It was an absolute pleasure to be involved with our four Heaton cricket teams that competed in the 2020 CJCA Christchurch Cricket Championships. There was a brilliant atmosphere at Hagley Park, with Heaton entering two competitive teams, and two development teams. The improvements from all of our players involved was fantastic to witness! All of our Heaton teams played an attacking and entertaining style of cricket, supported one another, and developed more confidence. We also had some amazing individual achievements with some students recording half centuries, an unbeaten century and two hat tricks!

Our Heaton Boys development team finished the tournament with an impressive 2 wins from 4 matches, and our Heaton Girls development team finished with a perfect 5 wins from 5 matches. Our Boys 1st XI team lost a nail biter to St Thomas school, and won the remaining 3 fixtures to finish fifth out of twelve teams. Our Heaton Girls 1st XI continued their spectacular recent form with three comprehensive wins against Cobham, ChCh South and STAC, to win the tournament and progress as Christchurch Champions.

I would like to thank coach Barry V.B and Miss Caygill for the continued and amazing support, guidance and encouragement they have provided our teams for the duration of this term. I would also like to recognise all of those caregivers who could make it down to Hagley to provide their support over the four tournament days.

The 2019 Anchor AIMS Games was an event of epic proportions. There were over 11,500 competitors who were representing 365 schools from throughout New Zealand, Asia and the Pacific. These staggering participation numbers place it ahead of the number of athletes that competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio!

Heaton were superbly represented by two sports teams (Girls’ 11-a-side Hockey & Boys’ Basketball) and 9 individuals who competed in BMX, Squash, Cross Country, Swimming, Gym-sports, Golf and Multisport. Our Heaton athletes have worked tirelessly over the past six months to prepare for this tournament, and have been wonderfully supported by their coaches, parents, family and teachers. I would  personally like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Seales, Mrs Dore and Mrs Newton for all of their efforts, energy and expertise. Without you, this opportunity would not be possible for our athletes.

I would like to congratulate all of our students for their individual and team success. We are extremely impressed with both the personal and sporting development that occurred during your week in Tauranga. You have all made yourselves, our school and your families very proud! We are so pleased that all of your hard work, sacrifice and efforts have been rewarded.

Our Heaton Hockey Team (affectionally dubbed the frogs) have been crowned Aims Games Champions, bringing home the 11-a-side Hockey cup with a perfect 8 wins from 8 games. Lauren S (Room 8) has also added to her impressive national tournament successes with a bronze medal win ( only .3 points behind the gold medal). With other personal best performances, many top 10 finishes and amazing improvements, this years Aims Games was a spectacular success.

Being on 2020!

Football Programme

On Tuesday 11th June a game of Football was held at Elmwood Park as part of the Tuesday Sport Program. The students were divided into four groups where each group played their own football game to prevent overcrowding. The games were run by St Andrews school graduates, as part of the St Albans Shirley Football Club. It was great to hear the students enjoying themselves and loving their football.

Youthtown –  Ki-o-Rahi Game

On Tuesday 28th May, a full on game of Ki-o-Rahi took place on the Heaton field as part of the Tuesday sport program, run by youth organisation Youthtown. Ki-o-Rahi is a fast-paced ball sport played in New Zealand where two teams of seven players play on a circular field divided into zones. Teams score points by touching the ‘pou’ (boundary markers) and hitting a central ‘tupu’ or target. It was an epic, fun packed game.

Girls’ Canterbury Cricket Finals 2020

November 3, 2020

Canterbury Finals : 28/29 October 2020 – Match report from coach Barry

Game 1 : Heaton 231/5 beat Ashburton Intermediate 48 in 12.4 overs.

Heaton lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Millie S and Isla C opened and in the 3rd over Millie was run out for 2 (her first dismissal for Heaton this year). The run out was through a brilliant bit of fielding by Ashburton. Isla (7) was bowled the same over and soon after Georgetta (7)  was caught and bowled. In the 5th over we were 3/36 – not ideal but we had some strong batting to come. Our next 4 batters were retired : Emily (51*), Lilly (33*), Ciara H (29*), Ava (13) – who was retired however came back in to be later run out).  Millie M (2*) and Maya Y (4) saw out the rest of the 20 overs.

I sensed we were in for a treat with the bowling. Ava D bowled beautifully and finished with the standout figures of 4-5-7. There were two dropped catches but Millie M caught a great one off Lily Y bowling (2-1-9). Ciara, Isla (2-0-8), Emily bowled beautifully (2-1-2)and Millie M (1-1-3) rounded out the bowling effort.

Game 2 : Heaton 209-2 beat Darfield 65 in 15 overs

We knew nothing about Darfield except that they had a very good bowler and a batter who scored 95 in a preliminary game. We won the toss and elected to bat. This time our openers fired and did so against a very good bowling line up. Isla (26) batted beautifully scoring well with three boundaries and both batters scoring excellent singles. After 10 overs we were 80/1 with Millie S (54*) retiring followed by a double half century with Emily (56*). Elia P (2), Abby B (8*) and Lily Y (16*) kept the scorers busy by keeping up the running and scoring shots before we ended on 209/2. Particularly pleasing was how well all the Heaton batters played their best bowler who plays division one boys cricket.

With the ball, Ciara was in excellent form (4-3-17) supported by Ava (3-2-10). Their openers looked handy and started well getting Darfield to 19 before the first wicket fell. Six bowled wickets and two run outs restricted Darfield to a total of 65. Lily Y (1-1-0) and Georgetta H (2-1-10) took wickets.

Game 3 : Waimea 65/7 after 20 overs lost to Heaton 66/2 after 10.3 overs

Light drizzle pushed the game start back half an hour, but at 10am we were all ready to go. Waimea won the toss and elected to bat first.

Ava struck success in her first over bowling the opener and finished with 3-1-9. Ciara also had success in her first 2 overs with two more wickets. Ciara finished on 3-4-10 and Maya 3-1-8 bowled well especially her last over (wicket maiden).  Millie M and Maya Y combined on a well executed run out.

We started off with Isla C (10*) and Georgetta H (9*) who did well getting us to 23 after the 4th over – they were then retired allowing Mia F (3*) and Abby B (6*) to enter the crease. Mia and Abby ran well between the wickets adding another 20 runs before Abby was caught (after picking the previous ball off her pads for 4 through fine leg. Maya Y (7) and Millie M (12*)  were left the task of getting us through to 66. Millie M looked comfortable picking up a couple of 4s through fine leg and hit the winning runs.

Congratulations to all of our 13 Heaton players on a wonderful season and for being crowned Canterbury Champions. We are very proud that you will be representing our region at the upcoming Nationals tournament.
