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.
