Term 3 Korfball Tournament 2022

Being at the tournament was an amazing experience and opportunity. Most of us almost tripped on our way to Hagley Park because of all the excitement. Group of teams were said aloud and we all encouraged each other. Many people were feeling anxious for their first game but they also were super excited to be playing Korfball and missing out on school. Everyone had high expectations in participating and it was a great opportunity to play with people from other classes and years that they didn’t know. At the end of the day everyone was so worn out, tired, and sore.Most importantly we wore our school uniform with confidence and showed the Heaton values.

Tusi & Lucy (Room 8)

On Monday the 19th of September the Heaton Korfball teams went to the Hagley park netball courts for their Korfball tournaments against other schools. Once there they had round robin matches in the morning and then they had competition matches after lunch.

Our Heaton Korfball teams did astonishingly well that day with some awesome sportsmanship and skill. The teachers Mrs. Eames, Mr. Colvin and Mr. Evers helped escort our teams to Hagley park. Heaton #4 came 11th, Heaton #3 came 12th, Heaton #2 came 13th, Heaton #1 came 15th, Heaton #5 and came 17th.

CAIMS Invitational Tournament 2022

The 2022 CAIMS Winter & Indoor Tournament was a fantastic success for our Heaton athletes!

With nine sporting codes on offer (badminton, basketball, football, hockey, netball, rugby sevens, squash, table tennis and volleyball), Heaton were extremely well represented with the largest number of teams entered out of any school.

The improvements over the two competition days were amazing, as were the attitudes from our student representatives.

We would also like to recognise our three Heaton teams that won their competitions

  • Open Football Champions
  • Girls’ Football Champions
  • Rugby 7’s Champions (Heaton Kowhai)
