Background The Queen Street Cricket Club ('QSCC") is a charitable organisation assisting disadvantaged children in New Zealand and also encourages school children in NZ to play cricket, and to develop the attributes of sportsmanship and fair play, through providing facilities, equipment, tuition and coaching.
In recognition of the contribution made by Peter Hooton, who at the time of his death was the QSCC Treasurer, a scholarship has been established to assist Schools and school children in pursuit of their cricket goals and objectives.
Two scholarships will be awarded annually to students in lower decile schools (decile 4 and below), one being from the South Island and one from the North Island. The funding will be to provide cricket gear and one on one coaching for the student to the value of $2,000. The student's school will also receive $3,000 to be used for cricket equipment and or facilities for the school.

Drugs and sports don’t belong together! Thousands of young Kiwi’s have pledged their support to clean sports by signing a drug free pledge alongside our Olympians and world champion athletes – and wearing green armbands to show they have signed. Check out the list of athletes that have signed the pledge, here what they have to say about doping in sport, download free stuff, check out event photos from National Secondary School Events and more at www.unitedbythepledge.co.nz.
In recognition that younger and younger sports stars, particularly in Rugby, are receiving approaches to join the semi professional ranks, the NZRPA has developed answers to a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help educate players on Agents, the role they play, services they perform and what to consider when engaging one.
The NZRPA has also developed the NZRPA Agent Charter. The Charter is designed to assist players to access Agents who have agreed to be bound by certain standards of knowledge, integrity, competence and professionalism and who have been selected by the NZRPA as NZRPA Accredited Agents.
The information can be accessed on their website click here. We encourage every player (and their parents) considering appointing an Agent to read the supporting educational material (and in particular the FAQ’s and NZRPA Agents Charter) within this website
The facility to manage the school's sports programme within MUSAC's Classroom Manager AND to produce the NZSSSC Census report is now available.
Sports Co-ordinators in schools that use MUSAC are advised that they should seriously consider delaying using SportSCID until they assess what MUSAC can offer. SportSCID2009 is still available [below] but we are convinced that the MUSAC option will be better for most sports co-ordinators' needs.
A Manual has been produced to guide you through the pocess of working with MUSAC. Download here - .
MUSAC Manual
Some schools will ask students to register for all of their sports at the start of the season, or even the start of the year. They will then want to be able to take a student and allocate all of the sports choices for that student. This is not possible directly in MUSAC but it can be easily managed by using MUSAC & SportSCID together. The instructions are here:
MUSAC & SportSCID: Instructions for allocating sports to students as distinct from allocating students to sports.
