Incorporating Junior Spartans Programme (JSP)

In recognition of Year 9 students finding it difficult to establish themselves within sport at Shirley Boys High School and fueled by a desire to have all students active, the school has adopted a policy of compulsory involvement in physical activity for all Year 9 students. Students are required to commit to a minimum of two terms of physical activity. The emphasis will be on ‘playing the game’ and the social interactions made possible through physical activity. Many of the activities are prioritized for Year 9 students only (JSP).

Students must commit to their chosen activities in the first two weeks of term one and must select at least one activity in two out of the four terms throughout the year. Checks will be made to ensure that they are honouring their commitment. Failure to complete the two terms worth of sport may have school-based consequences.

The Year Nine Sports Programme offers opportunities in both ‘in-school activities’ (Clubs or JSP’s) and competitive involvement. If selecting a Club or JSP option a student must attend his chosen activity for a minimum of one hour on a regular weekly basis throughout the term(s) during which he is enrolled in the activity. The JSP programme is displayed on page 25 and a selection form is inserted at the rear of this directory.

History

Summer and winter sports teams were formed with the opening of Shirley BHS in 1957. These included athletics, cricket, football, hockey, rowing, rugby, swimming and tennis. As the school roll increased, sports such as golf, shooting and table tennis were added and these later included badminton, canoe polo, cycling, dragon boating, fencing, futsal, ice and in-line hockey, martial arts, mountain biking, squash, surfing, touch, and volleyball.

A rigorous Sports Development Programme offers students NCEA Physical Education Standards from Year 10 onwards and this has led to provincial and national sporting representation for Shirley BHS teams and individuals.

Among these are All Blacks Steve Scott, Craig Green, Chris Jack and Ryan Crotty; volleyballer Hugh McCutcheon, NZOM; cricketers Nathan Astle, Craig McMillan; Black Sticks Bradley and Hayden Shaw. For several years, Shirley BHS dragon boaters were the New Zealand schoolboy champions while the school rowing squad members are regular medal winners at Maadi Cup and other rowing championships.

Honours

To qualify for a Spartan Sports tie a student must either appears in 50% or more of the first teams fixtures in a given season or be a second year member of that first team.

Spartan Sport code badges are awarded by coaches/managers to students after making a single first team appearance and Bar badges are awarded on-top of these to represent long service in a first team (2nd, 3rd Year Bar etc).

Blues badges are awarded to our top sportsman at the annual Sportsman of the Year dinner. These badges denote representing a given sport at the top level (Canterbury/NZ) as well as being a worthy representative of the school (including academic/attendance/attitude etc). These awards are generally reserved for Y12 & Y13 students.

Rugby:

4/07/20 vs Marlborough College

Final Score: 33-15 Win

The Shirley Boys 1st XV played Marlborough Boys College at Linfield park. Their temporary home ground for 2020. The team came into the game captained by Jayden Horgan(C) and Sam Nicholls(VC). The Shirley boys came out of the sheds really slowly, looking half asleep, conceding a first-half deficit they will be keen to forget, with Marlborough boys taking a 10-0 lead. Then In the second half, Shirley boys outclassed and out-muscled the Malbrough team from the first to the last whistle scoring 33 points in the second half to Marlborough’s 5,this mad the final score 33-15.

During this amazing comeback in the second half game, Shirley saw tries from Ben Norton (2), Elijah Tuhura, Brodie Richards, Pele Antonio and conversions from Conner Watherston-spencer. A great second half performance saved the 1st XV on Saturday they will look to carry the second-half performance into next Saturday where they take on St Bede’s back home at Linfield again.

~Sam Nicholls year 13

11/07/20 vs St Bedes College

Final Score: 24-28 Loss

The Shirley Boys 1st XV played St Bede’s college at Linfield Park, another home game for Shirley. The team came into the game captained by Jayden Horgan (C) and Sam Nicholls(VC).The game was a back and forth affair the whole way. Through the game a couple of mistakes allowed St Bedes to gain a nice lead towards the middle of the second half this set up an impressive comeback from Shirley Boys. However on the day it was not on the cards as Shirley went down by 4 points losing 24-28. In the last 15 minutes the team fought valiantly and poured their hearts out onto the field a tough pill to swallow for the boys.

They will be using this as motivation leading into this week’s game against Rangiora. This game saw tries from Leo Nasio, Sam Nicholls, and Ethan Faitua also conversions and penalties from Conner Waterston-Spencer.

~Sam Nicholls year 13

18/07/20 vs Rangiora High

Final Score 10-7 Win

The Shirley Boys 1st XV played Rangiora High School at Linfield Park. The game was a back and forth affair the whole way through the game with both teams only scoring one try throughout the 70 mins of action. In the end, this nail biting match was decided by a penalty kick in the last 3 minutes.

The games only try scorer was Emmanuel Fruean, converted by Sam Nicholls who also kicked the penalty kick late in the game. After the match, the team celebrated the close win with awards to Brodie Barsby on his 8 game tie; Cody Dacre and Elijah Tuhura were also awarded their 1st XV Caps.

Basketball:

30/06/20 vs Rangiora High

Final Score: 125-76 Win

The Senior A Spartans took on Rangiora for their 2nd game of the season and their first home game of the year. With the return of key player Kane Thomson (out due to injury), the Spartans were confident in their depth and this showed as they took and early lead 31-9 by the end of the first quarter. A comeback was suspected; however this never came as the Spartans continued to dominate leading 100-57 by the end of the third. At this point two main players Gregory Rodger and Kaleb Chamberlain sat and the bench played through the rest of the game and the Spartans defended home court and sent rangiora packing 117-76.

Top scorers were Kane Thomson with 23 points, Gregory Rodger with 20 points and Kaleb Chamberlain with 18 points and a highlight play of the week with an amazing poster dunk on a young Rangiora player. The Senior A Spartans improve to a 2-0 record on the season and take on St Bedes (2-0) on the 21st of July in their next matchup.

Hockey:

3/07/20 vs St Andrews College

Final Score: 0-4 Loss

The first XI came up against STAC on Friday night at Nga Puna Wai. After a 2-2 draw in preseason the boys were in search of a win. Unfortunately STAC came out hard and scored in the opening minutes and continued to score one goal each quarter ending in a 4-0 loss. We struggled to gain momentum and were outplayed in all areas of the turf. We had to start the second half without a goalkeeper as Oliver Lewis was injured, a big blow for the team. A quick turnaround with a game on Monday against Christ’s College will be an opportunity to write our wrongs of this game.

~ Louie Harvey year 12

6/07/20 vs Christ’s College

Final Score: 2-5 Loss

The boys started off slowly against a very strong Christ College team who was full of experienced representative players. Christ College scored first but Campbell Hutton slotted the equaliser later to get the boy’s heads back up. After this, the game started to slip away with Christ College constantly applying pressure but a goal from Luca Jugovac late in the fourth quarter finished the game off with Christ College winning 5-2.

~ Hamish Church year 13

The late game on friday saw the 1st XI match up with an in form CBHS team after a 2-2 draw in the last meeting pre-season. Shirley were looking to take down the team but an early goal from them put Shirley on the back foot from the start, however managing to keep them to 1 in the first half but full time saw them ahead by 3. Shirley were lacking the intensity from the start and the Boys high team deserved the win as we were out played but the win did not go without a fight from the Shirley boys. Next week sees Shirley match up against St Bedes for the final game of the round, before playing the top 6 teams again.
