Sports Information

Sport is a big part of school life. On this website you will find important dates and information about sports teams and events.


Registrations

To ensure our teams are equipped to start their season well, all summer and winter sports have specific registration time frames. Registration times will be published here, on the HCS School App, HCS Facebook page and in the school newsletter. Please familiarise yourself with these platforms to ensure you receive all relevant information about sports and other aspects of school life.


To register for Term 1 2024 sports, select “Registrations” from the top menu on this page.


Service in Sport

Sports provide many opportunities for HCS students to serve their school and to be Jesus with hands and feet to other students, parents and supporters and the sporting community. We provide opportunities for senior students to show leadership through in-house sports and we encourage them to coach junior sports teams. When HCS students of all ages and abilities live out the school values while playing sport, they are being an example and witness to others.


Parent Support

We can't run a sports programme involving over 600 students playing in 60+ sports teams without the support of our school community.


Most teams are parent coached and managed. We rely on the HCS whanau to help in this area and offer training and support to parent and student coaches. Please indicate on the sign up form if you are able to help coach or manage a team.


Police Vetting

It is a requirement under the Vulnerable Children’s Act that all volunteers complete a Police Vetting form every three years. You can download the form here. Bring the completed form along with two forms of ID to the HCS Office for processing.


Sports Uniforms

All HCS sports teams have a uniform.


HCS PE kit is the uniform for:

  • All junior (Y1-8) teams except Y7-8 netball

  • All secondary (Y9-13) teams except netball and basketball and all Senior A teams


HCS provides the use of uniforms for

  • Year 7 – 13 netball teams

  • Senior A basketball, football and hockey teams.

  • If sports uniforms are lost or damaged, the full replacement costs will be charged.


Where to buy sports uniforms:

  • The HCS PE kit and navy blue HCS sports socks (worn for futsal, football and hockey) will soon be available at DG Uniforms.


Training Uniform

Players are expected to wear HCS PE kit, training kit or other appropriate clothing to training, and to bring suitable footwear and other required gear to all practices. Those who forget their gear will watch practice from the sidelines and assist the coach where possible.


Game Day Uniform

All players must wear their correct sports uniform – shirt and shorts, or dress, and socks - when representing HCS in sports.


Sports Hoodies

HCS Sports Hoodies are an optional sports uniform item and can be purchased through our uniform supplier, The Brand Makers (formerly DG Uniforms).

Students chosen to represent HCS at Totara Springs Sports Camp require a sports hoodie.


Fees

Sports fees must be paid by the due date on the invoice. Players who do not pay subs will not be allowed to sign up for future seasons.
