Guest Post by Georgia - Taradale High Sport

Each year at Taradale Intermediate, several classes are lucky enough to have sports tuition by some students from Taradale High School, which is right next door to us. 

We choose a sport and we then go over to the high school and have 4 sessions with two Year 12’s who are an expert in that sport.  They coach us for extra credits in NCEA.  The sports were Cricket, Handball, Soccer, Netball, Hockey, Softball, Problem Solving ABLs, Touch Rugby, Ultimate Frisbee, and Hip Hop and Jazz dancing.

Taradale High Sports are a great way to learn a new sport or improve on one you already play.  I think that the Taradale High sports are great and give people the experience they need.

Does your school have an exchange with any other schools? 

Or do you do an event with another school annually? 

Subway Softball

School has started for the year and even though we’re only into the second week our first inter-class sports’ competition has started.
Our first competition is Subway Softball. You can see some pictures above of our class trialling and practising to get ready for our first game tomorrow.
We call this sport Subway Softball because if your team is the overall winner, you and your class receive prize money to buy Subway for lunch. Subway Softball is played in three pools. There are 12 students to a team and each team represents a class. 

Do you have inter-class sports competitions at your school?  If so, what are they?
Does your school have house/team/syndicate competitions?  

Are there any original or unique games that are played at your school?
