Baggage:

Students will be provided with a Heaton sports backpack for their carry on items, and are able to check in a personal cricket bag and small checked clothing bag. Please place as many items in your cricket bag as you can, as the checked in bag must be a soft-shell style (no suitcases). With the limited flight schedules and small plane, this is very important.

Upon arrival at Palmerston North (E.T.A of 11:15am), our Heaton team will be transported directly to the cricket grounds via a super shuttle. Once at the grounds Mrs Edge and Barry will collect the rental van keys from the Waihi School team manager, and will attend a managers/coach meeting.

At the conclusion of the first match, NZ cricket host a short opening ceremony for the six schools in attendance, followed by a players BBQ dinner.

Based on the finishing time of our first match and start time of the opening ceremony, Mrs Edge will make a decision about whether our Heaton team will check in to our accomodation before the evening events commence.

Accommodation:

Our team will be staying at the the Massey Manawatu Halls (Massey University). This is located on the Cnr of University Ave and Rehab Road. The accommodation includes bedding, linen, towels, tea/coffee making facilities, single sex bathrooms (each with lockable shower/sink/toilet), WIFI, communal hub (lounge and dining area) and a fully equipped self catered kitchen.

Girls’ Canterbury Cricket Finals 2020

November 3, 2020

Canterbury Finals : 28/29 October 2020 – Match report from coach Barry

Game 1 : Heaton 231/5 beat Ashburton Intermediate 48 in 12.4 overs.

Heaton lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Millie S and Isla C opened and in the 3rd over Millie was run out for 2 (her first dismissal for Heaton this year). The run out was through a brilliant bit of fielding by Ashburton. Isla (7) was bowled the same over and soon after Georgetta (7)  was caught and bowled. In the 5th over we were 3/36 – not ideal but we had some strong batting to come. Our next 4 batters were retired : Emily (51*), Lilly (33*), Ciara H (29*), Ava (13) – who was retired however came back in to be later run out).  Millie M (2*) and Maya Y (4) saw out the rest of the 20 overs.

I sensed we were in for a treat with the bowling. Ava D bowled beautifully and finished with the standout figures of 4-5-7. There were two dropped catches but Millie M caught a great one off Lily Y bowling (2-1-9). Ciara, Isla (2-0-8), Emily bowled beautifully (2-1-2)and Millie M (1-1-3) rounded out the bowling effort.

Game 2 : Heaton 209-2 beat Darfield 65 in 15 overs

We knew nothing about Darfield except that they had a very good bowler and a batter who scored 95 in a preliminary game. We won the toss and elected to bat. This time our openers fired and did so against a very good bowling line up. Isla (26) batted beautifully scoring well with three boundaries and both batters scoring excellent singles. After 10 overs we were 80/1 with Millie S (54*) retiring followed by a double half century with Emily (56*). Elia P (2), Abby B (8*) and Lily Y (16*) kept the scorers busy by keeping up the running and scoring shots before we ended on 209/2. Particularly pleasing was how well all the Heaton batters played their best bowler who plays division one boys cricket.

With the ball, Ciara was in excellent form (4-3-17) supported by Ava (3-2-10). Their openers looked handy and started well getting Darfield to 19 before the first wicket fell. Six bowled wickets and two run outs restricted Darfield to a total of 65. Lily Y (1-1-0) and Georgetta H (2-1-10) took wickets.

Game 3 : Waimea 65/7 after 20 overs lost to Heaton 66/2 after 10.3 overs

Light drizzle pushed the game start back half an hour, but at 10am we were all ready to go. Waimea won the toss and elected to bat first.

Ava struck success in her first over bowling the opener and finished with 3-1-9. Ciara also had success in her first 2 overs with two more wickets. Ciara finished on 3-4-10 and Maya 3-1-8 bowled well especially her last over (wicket maiden).  Millie M and Maya Y combined on a well executed run out.

We started off with Isla C (10*) and Georgetta H (9*) who did well getting us to 23 after the 4th over – they were then retired allowing Mia F (3*) and Abby B (6*) to enter the crease. Mia and Abby ran well between the wickets adding another 20 runs before Abby was caught (after picking the previous ball off her pads for 4 through fine leg. Maya Y (7) and Millie M (12*)  were left the task of getting us through to 66. Millie M looked comfortable picking up a couple of 4s through fine leg and hit the winning runs.

Congratulations to all of our 13 Heaton players on a wonderful season and for being crowned Canterbury Champions. We are very proud that you will be representing our region at the upcoming Nationals tournament.

Congratulations to all participants who took part in the 2020 Heaton cross country event at Elmwood Park. Our students produced some brilliant performances in perfect cross country conditions (cold, windy and muddy).

The event was a big success thanks largely to our Heaton Sports Leaders, who set up, marshalled, timed and recorded all four races. All student helpers should be commended for their efforts and dedication throughout the day. A big thank you must also go out to the Heaton teaching team for their support, and the enthusiastic staff runners who kept our students motivated!

The top 10 finishes in each race will now go on to represent Heaton at next Wednesdays inter-schools cross country championships, held at Halswell Quarry. We wish them all the best and congratulate them for their amazing results.

2020 Heaton Basketball Schedule – Term 2

May 18, 2020

Welcome back Heaton Basketball enthusiasts! 

As things are currently a little different in our wider community and at school in regards to sport, we cannot organise our traditional Heaton basketball trials to select our teams that play at Bishopdale on Friday evenings. As an alternative, Mr Evers will be holding daily House Basketball sessions at lunchtimes (12:45pm – 1:15pm), for all those students who expressed their interest last term.

The Basketball sessions will take place in the Heaton hall, except for on Thursday where 1/2 of the outdoor court will be used due to Kapa Haka. Students must hand-sanitise both on entry and exit to the hall, and the equipment will be cleaned by Mr Evers after each session. The activities that will take place will be non-contact based, to adhere to our school social distancing procedures.

Based on these sessions over the next six weeks, Mr Evers will select 6 boys teams and 2 girls teams that will be invited to represent our school in the YMCA competition. At this stage, we have not received any news from the YMCA regarding when the competition will begin and how it will be structured. As soon as we have any updates, I will keep you all posted.

To find out if you have registered for theses sessions and to access the house schedule, please select the link below:

CJCA Cricket Tournaments 2020

March 16, 2020

It was an absolute pleasure to be involved with our four Heaton cricket teams that competed in the 2020 CJCA Christchurch Cricket Championships. There was a brilliant atmosphere at Hagley Park, with Heaton entering two competitive teams, and two development teams. The improvements from all of our players involved was fantastic to witness! All of our Heaton teams played an attacking and entertaining style of cricket, supported one another, and developed more confidence. We also had some amazing individual achievements with some students recording half centuries, an unbeaten century and two hat tricks!

Our Heaton Boys development team finished the tournament with an impressive 2 wins from 4 matches, and our Heaton Girls development team finished with a perfect 5 wins from 5 matches. Our Boys 1st XI team lost a nail biter to St Thomas school, and won the remaining 3 fixtures to finish fifth out of twelve teams. Our Heaton Girls 1st XI continued their spectacular recent form with three comprehensive wins against Cobham, ChCh South and STAC, to win the tournament and progress as Christchurch Champions.

I would like to thank coach Barry V.B and Miss Caygill for the continued and amazing support, guidance and encouragement they have provided our teams for the duration of this term. I would also like to recognise all of those caregivers who could make it down to Hagley to provide their support over the four tournament days.
