A site all about sport at Hillview Christian School. St. Martins, Christchurch, New Zealand
From the Primary Sports Canterbury web site:
Primary Schools Thursday 29 May and Friday 30 May winter weekly sport is postponed, as some grounds in Hagley Park are still closed. The ground is still extremely wet and some fields are unable to be mowed.
Well done to our 12 runners today in the Canterbury Secondary Schools Cross Country that was held at Halswell Quarry today. It was fantastic to have three teams of four finishing, more that a number of much larger Secondary Schools did.
Best run of the day came from Farran Landers who came an excellent 15th place in the Junior Boys U15 race over 3km. Joshua Walker did very well to get 29th in a field of over 85 in the U14 Boys and Hayley Buckley was our best placed runner in the U14 Girls in 33rd place. All of our runners are to be congratulated on finishing strongly – special thanks to Joel Becker and Fia Palamo who joined the team at the last minute so we could have enough runners to make a team’s result.
We have 12 basketball teams playing today!
Today is the first day of the Year 5-8 “Wharenui” competiton and we have eight teams playing, two at Year 7/8 and six at the Year 5/6 level. For a list of teams, please click here: Years 5-8 Basketball Teams 2014
Today is the second week of the Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Friday competitions where we have four teams playing.
All the best to our teams – the Rams, Breakers and Tall Blacks look forward to having you all available to play for them in the future!
In lovely, but muddy, conditions today we had the South Zone Cross at Halswell Quarry. All the children tried very hard to do their best in some very competitive races with children from Thorrington, Beckenham, St. Peter’s, Waltham, St. Martins, Opawa and Rudolf Steiner schools.
Well done to the below children who were placed in the first six and therefore have qualified for The Primary Sports Canterbury Cross Country Champs on Wednesday 18 June at Halswell Quarry.

Year 7 Boys – Luke Mitchell 1st, Michael Hermens 2nd, Zach Carr 3rd and Sam Gemmell 4th!
Year 8 Girls – Bonnie McLister 3rd

A special mention must be made of our Year 7 Boys – all six were in the top 8 places (most fields having 30-35 runners or so). Along with the four above, Ephraim Stocks was 7th and James McRae 8th. Also just missing selection were Grace Perrett 7th in the Year 6 girls and Zoe Gilling 7th in the Year 7 girls.
The whole team will compete at the Christian Schools’ Cross Country on 6th June at Aidanfield.
As Hagley Park grounds are closed by the Council this week, there will be no Year 5-8 sport played there. The Year 5-8s will still have practices at school (weather permitting) on Thursday and the Gym children (53 of them) will still travel to Olympia Gym (leaving Hillview at 1.00pm and returning at 3.00pm approx.)
