There have been some football teams and Touch teams playing as Fernside School teams as well. The football teams did so well they each won  gear bags full of footballs and goalie gloves.

Two teams recently played golf in the Canterbury Summer Tournament. Thanks to Mark and Ami who made that possible.

The parent and grandparent support for sports' teams in the Fernside Community is a special feature of the area and must be acknowledged and cherished. Thank you to all the adults who give children and our teens the opportunities to participate in physical activities.

4 classes have benefitted from a softball unit over the last 5 weeks. If your child is interested in playing softball our closest clubs are Kaiapoi and Papanui, or visit www.csa.org.nz
