Inner City Cluster Schools Basketball Tournament

 

On Wednesday 21^st October, twenty-five of our Year 5 and 6 students took part in the Inner City Cluster Schools (ICCS) Basketball tournament at the Trusts Arena stadium in Henderson.

The students were split into three teams to compete in an A, B or Girls Only grade.  Over the day each team played at least four, 10-minute games in their respective pool play.  

Our Girls Only grade team: Angela, Ana, Avani, Clara, Lavender, Desley, Zarah & Xin Yann learnt so much throughout the day and kept improving through all of their 5 games.  For many of the team it was their first ICCS tournament and, for most, the first time they have participated in a team sport!

The B grade team: Te Mapuna, Neil, Mario, Etta, Abhinav, May, Bailey & Hansel had two wins and two losses.  All of their games were exciting to watch with dashing break-aways and determined defence.

The A grade team of Felix, Aahron, Shayan, Alex, Manaia, Zaria, Te Whakapuru & Kainga were in a tough pool.  Their games were played at a breathlessly fast pace with some very close results.  There was a great atmosphere all day and the students were great ambassadors for Freemans Bay School.

A special thanks to Madison and Sandra who helped out with transportation to and from the venue and sideline management support.
