ACTIVE SCHOOLS PROGRAMME NOW HAPPENING AT HEBRON
Hebron Christian College is working to enhance the physical activity culture of the school. The school staff is being supported by Sport Auckland (physical activity) and Team Solutions (physical education) to provide physical activity experiences for students (in and outside school). This initiative from Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC)and the Ministry of Education, is called Active Schools


LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMME
25 Year 11-13 students were chosen to participate in a Leadership programme where they discussed a wide range of possibilities to encourage physical activity and sport in our school. The students came up with many varied and exciting ideas and will now start to plan ways of introducing these to the student community.

Most sports are undertaken at Hebron at the appropriate levels although restricted facilities in the way of fields, courts and gymnasium mean some sports are conducted in modified version or off-site.

Students participate in inter-school summer and winter sports exchanges with state and Christian schools.


NETBALL
Four netball teams play in Saturday morning school girl competitions. They are:
Primary Years 3 & 4, Primary Years 5 & 6, Intermediate Years 7 & 8 and Secondary, Years 9 & 10.
MINIBALL


The school enters miniball (junior basketball) teams into the local Miniball Competition when interest is shown among the various age groups. Primary Miniball teams play in the Basketball Auckland School Competition. A mixed Year 5 & 6 team and a mixed Year 7 & 8 team currently play on Wednesdays at the UNITEC stadium. The teams are managed and trained by staff or parent volunteers.

INDOOR CRICKET
The school has formed Indoor Cricket teams which compete in the Friday night School Teams Indoor Cricket competition at the Action Indoor Sports arena in Royal Oak.


ATHLETICS
The whole school starts training for athletics at the beginning of Term 4 in preparation for Athletics Day, usually held in early November at the nearby Lovelock Track. The Junior School hold its own "Athletic Morning" with activities such as gumboot races, sack races, potato and spoon races and plain sprinting races. A "Mums and Dads" race usually caps off the morning activities. The Middle and Secondary Schools have a Round Robin athletic events programme in the morning and long distance and relay races in the afternoon. The House Relays and the Staff v Students v Parents relay are also the highlight of the day.
