Winter Sports Season

By May 5, 2023May 11th, 2023No Comments

Winter is here, and with it comes the start of the winter sport season at Owairoa Primary School. Our school has always been enthusiastic about sports, and this year is no exception. We are excited to announce that we will be offering rugby, netball, football, and hockey as our main winter sports this season. These sports have always been a big hit at our school, and we’re confident that our students will enjoy them too.

Our school has a long tradition of participating in various HPPA competitions, and this year will be no different. The teams that are selected to represent our school will have the chance to compete against other schools in the area. This is an excellent opportunity for our students to show off their skills, as well as learn from others.

But it’s not just about winning. We believe that sports offer a unique opportunity for students to work as part of a team. They learn to collaborate, communicate, and support each other towards a common goal. These are all valuable skills that they will carry with them throughout their lives.

To further this goal, we are also introducing Friday afternoon sports for our senior school students. This will involve everyone in the senior school, regardless of their sporting abilities. The idea is to expose our students to new sports and help them develop team-working skills. Our teachers are also excited to take on coaching roles and help our students learn the necessary skills.

We believe that introducing our students to a wide range of sports is important for their overall development. By giving them opportunities to try new things, we are helping them discover their passions and talents. Moreover, participating in sports can also have positive effects on their mental health and well-being.

We’re thrilled to be starting the winter sport season at Owairoa Primary School. We’re confident that our students will enjoy the opportunity to participate in rugby, netball, football, and hockey, as well as try out new sports during our Friday afternoon sessions. Most importantly, we hope that our students will learn the importance of working as part of a team and developing valuable life skills.
