Sports

At Huttenpark, we actively encourage all our learners to participate fully in our extra-mural programme and to choose sporting activities from our wide selection on offer.

Extra-murals are key to a balanced curriculum, healthy lifestyle, and enhanced school experience.
Buitemuurse aktiwiteite is die sleutel tot ‘n gebalanseerde kurrikulum, gesonde leefstyl en verbeterde skoolervaring.

In the Foundation Phase, the emphasis is on participation and we encourage our learners to engage in as many activities as possible.

The aim is to develop the necessary skills and competencies required for the more formal sporting and cultural activities in the Intermediate and Senior Phase.

Die doel is om die nodige vaardighede en bevoegdhede te ontwikkel wat benodig word vir die meer formele sport- en kultuuraktiwiteite in die Intermediêre en Senior Fase.

We also participate in Inter-House activities, such as our annual gala and athletics heats, with the emphasis being on teamwork and maximum participation.

Staff members and some outside coaches are utilised in the extra-mural programme to ensure our learners get the best possible coaching and to help realise our goals and objectives in developing the mind, body and spirit of our learners.

Personeellede en sommige buite-afrigters word in die buitemuurse program gebruik om te verseker dat ons leerders die beste moontlike afrigting kry en om ons doelwitte en doelwitte te help verwesenlik met die ontwikkeling van die verstand, liggaam en gees van ons slankers

We offer the following sporting codes here at Huttenpark:

Athletics | Atletiek

Atletiek word gedurende die eerste en derde en laaste kwartaal aangebied.

Our Junior Phase learners participate in the Fun-letics Day, where we have specialised equipment for younger, developing children. Each learner participates in different races. We also have a few novelty races to make it more enjoyable for both the learners and supporters.

Ons Intermediêre en Senior Fase Atletiek uitdunne en proewe vind plaas in die eerste week van skool, gedurende skoolure, wat elke leerder kans gee om deel te neem. Sodra dit afgehandel is, vind oefeninge in die middag plaas.

We offer long distance, sprints, relays and hurdles for the track events and long jump, high jump, javelin and shot putt for the field events.

Die Skoolspan word dan uit die Interhuis Atletiekdag gekies. Ons beste atlete gaan voort om ons skool by die Interskole-byeenkoms te verteenwoordig.

Cross-Country | Landloop

Cross-Country is offered as an extra-mural sport. It helps with building and maintaining fitness levels.

Ons bied gedurende skoolure ons Interhuis Landloopbyeenkoms aan. Alle leerders word aangemoedig om deel te neem en waardevolle punte vir hul Huise aan te teken.

The Cross-Country team is selected from the Inter-House results. The top runners from each age group go on to represent our school at the Inter-School Event.

Cricket | Krieket

In the Foundation phase, our learners (girls and boys) are encouraged to play Mini-Cricket.

Ons bied jaarliks ‘n groot Hutties se Mini-krieketfees aan. Hierdie seuns en meisies speel die dag in mini-wedstryde teen verskeie laerskole van in en om die dorp, asook sommige skole van buite die dorp.

Once the learners have developed their skills playing Mini-Cricket, they are introduced to hardball cricket in the under 9-age group.

Hockey | Hokkie

We offer both boys’ and girls’ hockey at Huttenpark.

Our Grade 1 -3 learners are introduced to Mini-Hockey. This is a 7-a-side game on a small field. There are many Saturday tournaments that all the players have the opportunity to participate in. In the junior phase, our A Teams are merit-based, however our B Teams are rotated to ensure every child gets exposure and match time experience. 

Spanne wat wissel van O/9 tot O/13 word in plaaslike ligas ingeskryf en speel in ten minste een fees en baie wedstryde teen verskeie skole in en buite die dorp.

Ons Eerstespanne gaan op hokkietoere, waar hulle aan ‘n paar wonderlike gasafrigters blootgestel word en hulle so gereeld as moontlik hokkievaardigheidsontwikkelingswerkswinkels bywoon.

Netball | Netbal

Our Mini-Netball (Grade 1 -3) introduces the girls to the game of Netball.

Teams ranging from U9 to U13 are entered into local leagues and play in at least one festival and against touring teams.

Our First Team goes on tour and attends as many netball skills development workshops as possible throughout the season.

Die meisies word netbalvaardighede geleer en aan die verskillende posisies voorgestel. Die klem is op vaardigheidsontwikkeling en genot vir ons 0/7-, 0/8- en 0/9-spanne.

Rugby

Our rugby coaches provide the boys with all the necessary skills, to be able to achieve at the highest level of participation on the rugby field.

Ons afrigters woon van die beste en mees gevorderde afrigtingskursusse by, om te verseker dat ons leerders die beste en mees onlangse afrigting van afrigters met gevorderde afrigtingstegnieke ontvang.

Our Grade 1 and 2 boys are introduced to rugby from the get go. Once the boys are more confident they start playing matches. The under 9 rugby teams play uncontested scrums and lineouts.

Ons senior spanne gaan oor om wedstryde in 15-manspanne en op volle velde te speel.

At Huttenpark, we host a large Soccer Tournament annually, in which we include all local and out of town schools. This tournament ensures all schools, in and out of town, are able to get match time exposure as soccer is still a relatively new and developing sporting code in many South African schools. There are various matches for each age group during term 3.
