Heaton Cross Country Fun 2025

June 3, 2025

On Wednesday, June 28th, Heaton Intermediate students congregated at Elmwood Park, ready to take on the school cross country. After a quick warm-up, we went straight into the races, with the Year 8s leading the way, followed by our Year 7 races. Thankfully, we managed to get through all the races before the rain became too heavy.

I was impressed to see so many students challenging themselves to reach their goals and giving their best efforts. The support shown toward one another was truly heartwarming. Thank you to all the parents and family members who came down to support – your presence added energy to the event, and I’m sure your encouragement gave our ākonga an extra boost!

A big thank you to our wonderful sport leaders for their support in setting up, packing down, and running the event. They did a great job supporting students and ensuring everyone knew where to go. Thank you also to our wonderful staff who assisted with the running of the event and ensured everything went smoothly.

Congratulations to all our students. Please see below to view our top finishers for each event.

Our school is very fortunate to have the help of many dedicated community members and teachers who are giving up their time to train and coach our teams. Representing Heaton in an inter-school competition is a privilege. We have an expectation that students reflect our school values and that their behaviour both during school, and in the wider community is respectful and positive. All participants must read and follow both the Heaton Sports Code of Conduct and PSC Code of Conduct

Heaton Sport Code of Conduct (CARE)

Meeting Times / Locations / Bus Organisation:

All students must eat lunch in their designated house areas, and then meet their coaches when dismissed at 12:40pm in the following locations. Please be prompt, line up in your teams and wait respectfully for your coaches so we can arrive at Hagley with sufficient time to warm up and get prepared.

All participants, caregivers and coaches must ensure they read the following document carefully:

Heaton Safety Policy for School & Representative Sport

Medical Kits:

Coaches must collect their sport/team medical kit from the front office. These should be kept for the duration of the summer sports season. Please see Marg or Sue to replenish any supplies that are used. Basic first aid equipment and ice packs will be available for Heaton students during their matches.

Injuries (what do I do?):

If you are injured, you will still travel with your Hagley Sport team on Tuesday afternoons to support your team(s) and assist your coaches.

Equipment Requirements:

Students must ensure they have their PE Kit / Sports Uniform (including Heaton hat), appropriate footwear/boots, sunblock, specialised sports equipment (pads, bat, gloves etc.) and a water bottle.

Language lessons, Kapa Haka and Orchestra: If you attend language tuition or you are involved in the Heaton orchestra and/or Kapa Haka and this clashes with a scheduled training session, you must notify your coach. These three school commitments take priority over a training session. An alternate time or training with a different Heaton team will be made available to you if possible.

Additional Information from PSC:

The purpose of weekly sport is to give all interested young people a chance to play sport against others in our region. The enjoyment of all is of most importance to us and if this means having to alter games to accommodate differing abilities then please take the initiative and do this.
