Softball Star - Rebecca James

It is with great pleasure that we begin our SUPER STUDENT series for 2015 with a spotlight on REBECCA JAMES. Not only does she excel in basketball ( Pioneer AllStars team 2014) and softball ( as we can see below), Rebecca is a wonderful role model to others at school and is a strong leader.


Rebecca was asked to fill in for Canterbury Country Junior Girls Tournament at Boys High during the summer holidays as they only had 10 players and were in the finals. There were teams from all over the South Island. 

They played a team from Nelson and won the the final.  Rebecca's softball skills came to the fore front and saved plenty of runs.



Below is a photo of Rebecca receiving an MVP award last Sunday. She
was selected as one of the 'Stand Out' players for the Tournament Team
at the Canterbury Junior Softball tournament.

Rebecca's team placed second.


Way to go, Rebecca. Another example of Oaklands students being successful.

Basketball trials

Rams in Schools basketball programme

Beginning this Wednesday from 12:30pm - 1:30pm coaches from the Canterbury Rams basketball team will be at Oaklands helping us with our player and coaching development.

This will take place every Wednesday in term 1 from 12:30 - 1:30pm.

Students participating will need to bring along suitable footwear and perhaps some sport clothing to change into.

There is a limit on numbers - up to 50

Permission forms went home last week we have had 31 replies already.

We are really excited about this opportunity for our basketball students as this will build a strong foundation for term 2 and 3 when we enter teams in the Pioneer Basketball competition.

Please see Grant Forman, Room 9, if you have any questions.
