"Our aim as Sports Captains is to promote participation and fair play within the school and encourage the Junior school to get involved in all sports. We along with the sports committee run lunchtime activities for everyone providing heaps of fun". Chase Saunders-Loder and Edee Harris - Sports Captains for 2010.
The Sports Committee for 2011 consists of: Tim O'Sullivan, Liam Anderson, Rhianna Trewavas, Edee Harris, Jackson Kaihe, Nick Willetts, Phillip Palzer, Chase Saunders-Loder, Tim Webb, Christta Burrows, Tessa Silcock, Mara Kennedy, Alice Templeton and Kayla Inwood.
The shield was first presented in 1950 and continues to be contested for to the present day with the focus being on getting as many students involved in activities as possible. The school is divided into four house colours: green, yellow (now known as kowhai), blue and red. Throughout the year the House Shield is fiercely contested for in various events, namely: house sports, athletics, swimming, cross-country, lip synch, talent quest and various house quiz events. To date Green House has been the dominate house winning the shield 22 times, followed by red, blue then kowhai. Red House are the current champions.
Congratulations to the Senior Mixed Touch Team coached and managed by staff members Mr Eliot Smith and Miss Jodie Mitchell. This team has made Motueka High School very proud by winning the silver medal against a very strong St. Andrews College. This placing has qulified them to attend the Nationals in Palmerston North.
After competing at the secondary schools regional tournament both of the Motueka High School Boys teams qualified for the South Island tournament where they only missed out in a top placing by a very small margin. This was a first for our school. Team members included Corey Lupton/Mitchell Eades and Harry Townsend/Jacob Linn.
Congratulations to Courtney Clarke for winning gold medals in both the Discus and Shot Put at the South Island Secondary Schools Athletics Competition held in Dunedin.
