We are very fortunate here at
Parkview to be involved with Youthtown Sport.
Every Thursday we have two very enthusiastic sports instructors coming
to our school to take classes in physical activity lessons. Our students get the chance to learn from
qualified instructors, use different equipment and learn different activities.
All staff here at school have been
very impressed with the organisation and teaching skills of Ginny and Jade,
our two instructors, and the students love the activities.
Below is more

East Zone Swimming 2015
East
Zone Swimming Competition.
Yesterday a team of six swimmers travelled
to Jellie Park pools to represent Parkview at the annual East Zone Primary
Schools Swimming competition. Our team
consisted of Jennifer Haslett, Ruby Lewis, Hiromu Crosado, Manaaki
Waretini-Beaumont, Brook Teear and Katy deThier-Pinker. Up against some strong competition and a
growing number of competitors, our team can be particularly proud of their
efforts. Ruby, Katy and Brooke all
swam in finals with Brooke finishing first in the 12 year old girls 50m
backstroke. This qualifies her to go
through to the Canterbury Primary Schools Swimming Sports to be held on
Monday 30th March at the Selwyn Aquatic Centre. Awesome effort Brooke! Well done to all the team and special
thanks to Paula Burgess for her help with transport and supervision at the
pool.
