Inter-School Duathlon

Congratulations to everyone that. took part in the inter-school duathlon at Ruapuna Raceway on Monday 8th November. This event had been re-scheduled from term two. Thanks to the commitment of the Canterbury Triathlon Club for organising the event so that it could still take place following level 2 restrictions. It was a hot dry afternoon for our competitors. The race started with a 2km run on paths, followed by three bike laps of the Ruapuna race track totalling 9km and a final sprint run of 1km. Everyone gave it 100% and represented Christchurch South with great sportsmanship. Full race results can be found on the Canterbury School Sports website.

Theatre Sports Competition

For the first time in two years, two Theatre Sports teams battled it out against other schools in Christchurch in the annual Court Theatre competition on Saturday 6th November. Both teams competed in two different heats and represented the school very well. The students held their own, had crazy creative ideas and gave even the high school kids a run for their money. The judges were very surprised and impressed with the talent at their age. We were very lucky to compete this year with the covid interruptions however with a mask-wearing audience of 20 and social distancing, the show must go on. Unfortunately, we did not win against the tough competitors but we will be ready next year. Thank you to all the students who were involved in this competition and you have really made your coaches proud. Also, I would like to thank the Teachers and Court Theatre for their support as well this year with our teams. Next stop: Showcase.

South Basketball Club

2021 saw the South Basketball club expand to a whopping 14 teams playing on Monday and Friday afternoons. The level of commitment that our players displayed throughout a lockdown interrupted season was unparalleled. Many of our basketball players had the opportunity to enjoy their first ever basketball games and a big reason for this was the support of our parent community. All teams were supported throughout the season by parent manager(s). Thank you so much to all parents - whether it be the managers, or those who came down to cheer our teams on! Special congratulations to the following teams: -South Nuggets for winning the Monday night year 7/8 B grade-South Eagles for winning the Friday night year 7/8 A grade-South Lakers for winning the Friday night year 7/8 Girls Grade
