HSS visit the Phoenix at T park


On the first day of the term 3 holidays, the Wellington Phoenix were in town. Many children from HSS got the opportunity to see the only professional football team in NZ play against the Central Coast Mariners from Australia. A fantastic fixture ended 2-1 to the Phoenix in an entertaining encounter. 



HSS players were fortunate enough to ballboy and ballgirl the event, and treated to VIP service throughout!
Tasman United's first ever game preceded the Phoenix game, seeing record Phoenix goalscorer Paul Ifill and swedish striker Ermal Hajdari play in front of a lively Trafalgar park created a real spectacle. Tasman United will compete in the National league, commencing at the end of October.

On the last day of term 3, HSS students were treated to a masterclass of musical talents at the boys college. Cashmere orchestra (from Christchurch) had stopped off on their South island tour to educate and demonstrate the various areas of the orchestra and harmonies. At the end, the children were encouraged to dance their way through a bit of jazz and swing. A fantastic way to end the term!
