The six Hawke’s Bay intermediates compete regularly for this shield. Schools pick their best teams in each code and that team competes in a full day’s competition. These sports

• Volleyball • Basketball • Softball • Netball • Touch

HUB SHIELD

The school is split into three hubs – Tukituki, Rongokako, and Huia.

Each hub competes for a shield in individual sporting codes and for the overall Hub Shield which is awarded at the end of the year. Points are given out for assemblies, sports and academic areas. The students are very proud of their syndicate and always work hard at winning the shield – there is always great competition.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION

Students are provided with various outdoor challenges throughout their two year stay at Heretaunga Intermediate. These include a syndicate camp every second year.

SPORTS EXCHANGES

We have a sports exchange with Monrad and Fergusson Intermediates each year, one home and one away fixture. Sports we compete for change each year. It is a chance to build new connections through sport, and have some fun too.
