Students require a range of structured, sequenced, and developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. These include opportunities to develop:

• skills for participating in diverse physical activities including participating, coaching, officiating, and administrating

• constructive attitudes, values, and behaviours that will help them to manage co-operative and individual competitive sports environments

• skills for identifying and critiquing the contributions that science, technology, and the environment make to sporting performances

• the skills to identify and discuss the social and cultural significance that sport has for individuals and for society

Sports programmes are developed in partnership with clubs and other community groups and involve interschool and club competitions.  For example, we take part in  hockey,  cross-country,  swimming and athletics interschool competitions each year.  We also take part in other interschool sports based on student numbers and parent support.

Students take part in the following areas of learning as part of our health and physical education programme:

mental health

food and nutrition

body care and physical safety

sports studies

outdoor education

We also take part in Firewise with support from FENZ and Keeping Ourselves Safe with support from the NZ Police. We also have St John and the District Nurse visit to teach health and saftey.
