Here at HNI, if students are interested and we have the support of our parent community in the capacity of coaching, we will give any sport a go!!
Please note: we have school soccer and rugby teams that compete against other intermediate schools for the inter-intermediate shield however, the Saturday competitions are club based for these sports.
The inter-intermediate shield (Super 6) is a sporting competition between Havelock North Intermediate, Hastings Intermediate, Heretaunga Intermediate, Taradale Intermediate, Napier Intermediate and Tamatea Intermediate. The coveted shield is competed for by our top sportspeople and teams throughout the school year.
A student favourite is our organised lunch time sport. Each lunch hour classes compete against each other in selected sports for the House Shield. The sports being competed in for 2010 are; non-stop cricket, soccer, touch, netball and softball. These sports are negotiated each year by the current students and our lunch time sports co-ordinator, Kieran Billings.
Each year we have a sports exchange with Masterton Intermediate. During odd years we travel to Masterton and during even years they come to us. Students compete for the cup in hockey, badminton, volleyball, table tennis, chess, basketball, harriers, touch rugby, soccer, netball and rugby. In 2010 HNI students won the cup in a very close contest. The teachers also compete for a trophy…..look out in 2011 Masterton – we’re bringing home the teacher’s cup too!!
