WINTER SPORT AT HAGLEY PARK:
U-TURNS IN FRONT OF SCHOOL PREMISES:
We would like to remind Parents/Caregivers that winter sport starts
tomorrow, Thursday 19th May. Please check your child has the correct
footwear, and where necessary shin pads. We have 2 netball teams and 2
soccer teams travelling by bus to Hagley Park. The cost per child to help
with the bus fare will be $2.00 per week. This week the teams will be
playing the following games:
Parents/Caregivers are reminded not to U-turn cars in front of the school and near
the crossing. We have had a couple of near misses being witnessed by our students
and staff in the last week. The school will put through infringement notices to the
Police if this trend continues. Please see the school office if you have any concerns
about this.
Netball A Team has a bye.
Netball B Team versus St Francis Team 3 on Hagley Courts 29 at 1.15pm.
Soccer A Team versus Hillview Aces at Carlton Corner 1 at 1 .15pm.
Soccer B Team versus Ao Tawhiti Black at Christs College 2A at 1.15pm.
SCHOOL CROSSING:
Due to problems being experienced with the lights for the crossing
outside the school turning to red when not being used, Christchurch
Transport Operations Centre has had to put the crossing back to push
button operation until this can be fixed.
Parents/Caregivers are welcome to come along for support, and due to
parking at Hagley Park are very welcome to travel on
the bus with the children.
Parents/Caregivers please note that for all children
travelling to Hagley to play winter sport, lunchtime will
commence at 12.15pm.
BASKETBALL:
The Year 5/6 team had an excellent start to the competition with a 24-4
win against the Papanui Pumas. Player of the day was Maia Gaitt, who
shot several goals and was in fine form. Well done. Tomorrow, Thursday
19th May, the team will be playing against the Papanui Pros on Court 1 at
4pm. Parents/Caregivers are very welcome to come along to support the
team.

On Wednesday, 25th May, we have 10 children representing Bishopdale School
at the North West Zone Cross Country at Jellie Park. The children will be
travelling by car, with events beginning at 12.30pm. Parents/Caregivers are
very welcome to come along to support the children, but will need to make their
own way there.
