2021 Heaton Athletics Days

November 9, 2021

Thank you to all of our Heaton community for your efforts in making our 2021 Heaton athletics days a success. The hard work and dedication shown by our staff and sports leaders enabled our students to enjoy a relaxed day of participation, competition and house spirit.

An extra special mention to Dean and Warren for all of their efforts in preparing our Heaton fields so we would hold this event on home soil. With the cancellation of the CAIMS Athletics Championships this year, it was even more important for us to enjoy the day, get involved and support each other during this school-wide event.

Well done Heaton!

  • 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.

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.

March 15, 2020

A huge congratulations must go out to all of our competitors for the positive and supportive way in which they competed. We had a number of amazing individual performances, and are very much looking forward to seeing some of you compete at next months Inter-schools event.

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.

Heaton Girls’ 1st XI Cricket 2021

November 9, 2021

The 2021 season has come to an end for our Heaton Girls’ 1st XI cricket team.

After a wonderful two days of cricket in the Canterbury Championships, our girls have finished their season with great memories, strong friendships, brilliant performances and having learned lots along the way.

The team’s hard work and dedication under the guidance of coach Barry have been brilliant all year. Our school has been very lucky to have Barry’s continued support and we would like to recognise and thank him for all of his continued hard work.
