Netball Zone Tournment

Last Tuesday 9th August our top Year 5 and 6 netball players participated at the annual Central Zone Netball Tournament held at the Taita Courts. Muritai entered 4 teams, each competing in their respective grades. There were mixed results with some great wins and the odd loss. Everyone involved gave it their all, representing Muritai with pride and a commitment to each and every challenge. What was obvious was the continual improvement of all the teams as the tournament progressed. Special congratulations goes to the Muritai Year 6 A team who finished second in their grade, the top division of the tournament. They will now go on to represent the Central Zone at an Inter-Zone competition held on Tuesday the 15th September. Also on behalf of all the players a big thank you to the parent helpers and coaches. Without these offers of transport and assistance with supervising teams such opportunities wouldn’t be possible.

ZONE CROSS COUNTRY RESULTS

Yesterday we took 60 of our finest Year 4-6 cross country runners to compete at the Central Zone Cross Country. The event was held along the riverbank near Connolly Street, Lower Hutt and was organised by Boulcott School. The track was very heavy underfoot and in some places was so muddy that it sucked the shoes off many of the runner's feet!

As always the Muritai team were amazing despite all being a little nervous before their races. They were very boisterous cheering in support while their peers were racing and greeted them on their return with high fives. Everyone in the team did their absolute best with many achieving personal goals.

Although we won 4 out of the 6 races we placed 3rd overall. This is an outstanding achievement and one the kids should feel very proud of. Special congratulations needs to go to the 11 runners who placed in the top ten and have now been selected to represent the Central Lower Hutt Team at the Inter-zone Cross Country on the 28th June. Those students and their placings are:

Y4 GIRLS: 1st = Macey Caughley, 7th = Ella Giles, 9th = Phoebe Evans.
Y4 BOYS: 4th = Andrew Sutcliffe, 7th Max Hahn.

Y5 GIRLS: 2nd = Charlotte Wilson, 9th = Grace Allan
Y5 BOYS: 1st = Jack Healy, 2nd = Liam Lamb

Y6 GIRLS: 1st = Maya Hahn
Y6 BOYS: 1st = Matthew Sutcliffe

Cross Country Changes

Parents/Caregivers

Due to the weather we have made some changes to tomorrows school cross country. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but these decisions have been made to ensure the cross country is a positive experience for all the children.

The New Entrants and Y1-4 students will participate in a separate event to be held at Bishop Park on Tuesday 21st June. A newsletter with further details about this event will come home later in the week.

The Year 5-8 children will be running tomorrow at Williams Park as planned. They are to assemble at school no later than 8:50am and be walking to Days Bay with their teacher. We will begin with the Year 5 race at 9:40am with the last race being run approximately 11am. I recommend you send your child to school with a spare change of clothes in case the clothes and footwear they run in gets wet.


Regards

Matt

Zone Soccer Tornament

On Tuesday the 24th of May our footballers joined in to take part in the Year 5 and 6 Central Zone Football Tournament run by SportZone. The tournament was held at a very blustery Sladden Park in Petone.
Muritai had 4 teams participating (2 girls teams and 2 boys teams). A lot of great games were had and many superb goals were scored. Our players were fantastic and experienced many wins, draws and a few loses too.
The overall winning school was Waterloo, with Eastern Hutt took the fair play award - well done to those schools.
A special thanks to the parents who transported the children to and from the park, and to the supporters and team managers on the sideline.
