Not only have the girls achieved in their chosen sport, they are amazing students who are outstanding role models. Well done, girls.
Fletcher Due, Scott Butterick and Jacob Nyman
It seems that Oaklands is blessed with rugby league talent. Not only did Fletcher, Scott and Jacob travel to the West Coast to represent Canterbury, the talented JACOB MANSON was there as well, selected for the Under 9 Canterbury team. The good new doesn't stop there, Jacob was also the captain of the team and scored 10 of the 12 points his team scored.
A fantastic effort by a talented junior sportsman.
Fletcher Due, Scott Butterick and Jacob Nyman
Today we celebrate three talented rugby league players here at Oaklands.
Fletcher Due, Scott Butterick and Jacob Nyman travelled to the West Coast at the weekend to represent Canterbury 10s.
Selected along with 10 other boys from all over Canterbury after a day of trials, the boys won the 10s tournament and victor's trophy.
They won their first game 24-18 with Jacob scoring two tries in the second game which they won 48-6.
Well done, boys. Mr Hillary might just realise his dream of having someone from Oaklands play for the Warriors. Another example of Oaklands students out there being successful.
MACKENZIE HILLYER
Mackenzie received a certificate for Ribbon Day which is the first competition of the season where they get awarded different ribbons depending on the points they get on each apparatus. She placed 11th out of 21. The extra ribbon is from the Marlborough Championships held in Blenheim where she received enough marks on her bar to get the next coloured ribbon.
Way to go, Mackenzie
ASHLEY YOUNG
Ashley received her medal for being the most improved Player for the Month of June in the under 6 team. She plays for the Suburbs under 6 team.
Way to go, Ashley

Our ten super triathletes represented Oaklands at the annual Canterbury Primary and Intermediate Schools Triathlon at Pegasus. Warm, it wasn't, but that only made everyone go faster. It was their first time swimming in a lake as part of a race, and a old one at that - with its very own eels. Well done, team on giving it your best. You're awesome.
