Volleyball
This year we had 7 teams playing in Term 1. This involved
62 players. My thanks to the following who coached or
managed teams: Hilda Wake, Charlene Cooper, Evelyn
Hunsberger, TK Brown, Natalya Taylor, Cassidy White,
Saoirse Murphy-Twhigg, Jess Gates, Brandon Weekes and
Sean Gates. At the time of submitting this report the Term 4
competition for juniors had not started.
Girls A: HBSS League-1st place P:11 W:11 L:0 Sets for:22
Against:2
This year’s league was very even and extremely competitive, so we were delighted to go undefeated.
HBPB Champs-1st Place P:5 W:5 L:0 Sets for:15 Against:1
On the back of some solid form we entered this tournament
quite confident. In the end our strong serving and solid team
ethic proved decisive.
Seeding Tournament -1st Place P:5 W:5 L:0 Sets for:15
Against:3
As final preparation before Nationals, all teams were starting to peak and this was a very tough tournament to win.
Our most exciting and critical game was a 3-2 win against
HGHS after we were down 2 sets to nil.
NZSS Nationals-5th Place Div 2 P:9 W:5 L:4 Sets for:15
Against:17
This was our best result since 1996. Two games stand
out. The first was our livestreamed game against Nayland
(Nelson) which we won 3-2. The other was our last game
against Hastings GHS. This was a very exciting game
which we won 15-13 in the fifth set.
Girls B:HBSS League-2nd Place P:10 W:6 L:4 Sets for:14
Against:13
Team: Cassidy White ©-MVP; Emily Spurgeon-MIP; Benita
Weber; Madi Chu; Jeorgia Penrice; Saoirse Murphy-Twhigg;
Charlotte Reay; Lea Jurgens.
This team had a very good season overall, considering that
the international students had to learn a new system and
a number of other players were being asked to play out of
position. Wins were against NGHS B (twice); SHC B; THS B
and HGHS B (twice).

Girls C: HBSS League-5th Place P:11 W:5 L:6 Sets for:13
Against:22
Team: Amy Wolland ©-MVP; Julia Evans; Sara Zimmermann; Rikke Hansen-MIP; Anna Milne; Yuri Mori; Wiebke
Schlenger.
This was very much our ‘International Team’ with only Amy
and Anna being Kiwis. They had a lot of fun and recorded
wins against NGHS C (twice); KHS B; THS 4 and SHC.
Girls Y10: HBSS League-5th Place P:10 W:5 L:5 Sets
for:15 Against:15
Team:Devon Williams ©-MVP; Rosie Caldwell; Harriet
Broadhurst; Holly Robertshaw; Bella McPhail; Caomhe
Murphy-Twhigg; Ella Knobloch; Arcadia Dalzell -MIP
.

These games were simply good practice and a
chance to learn systems. Wins were recorded
against THS 4; Woodford Y11; Iona Setters; Iona
Diggers and CHB.
