Our Sport Programmes​

Physical education in the classroom

Physical Education is centered around enhancing student hauora in alignment with the curriculum.

 

The sports programme works as a scaffolding network where students are provided with the foundations of fine and gross motors skills, building effective relationships with self and others, team work, hauora and levels of related fitness.

 

Throughout kura the senior students are able to gain credits towards NCEA for participating in sports while critically comparing and contrasting personal experiences with the New Zealand Curriculum. Throughout schooling life opportunities are provided that further enhance learning through a Māori world view.  

Elite Sport - Sports Academy

Students who ​show exceptional talent and dedication in a sporting field may be selected for the Elite sport programme. This programme will see them receive specialist training and support in order see them reach their full potential. Individual programmes are designed specifically to the individuals needs. 

Manawa Ora - The Breath of Life

Manawa Ora is a holistic hauora programme developed by our sports staff to support tauira in strengthening their overall wellbeing. Grounded in the belief that positive change comes through consistent effort and support, the programme empowers participants to become the best version of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

Delivered over a 10 weeks programme, Manawa Ora brings together tauira, whānau, and kura staff to create a supportive environment where healthy lifestyle habits can be developed and sustained.

Throughout the programme, tauira work alongside a qualified nutritionist who provides guidance tailored to their individual nutritional needs. Participants also take part in weekly training sessions that expose them to a variety of exercise styles, helping them build confidence, fitness, and an understanding of different ways to stay active.

Our kura kitchen staff support the programme by providing healthier breakfast and lunch options, reinforcing the importance of good nutrition. Outside of kura, tauira and their whānau take part in weekly walking challenges, encouraging healthy habits and shared commitment within the home.

At the heart of Manawa Ora is the philosophy of "progress, not perfection." The programme encourages tauira to focus on making positive, sustainable changes that support lifelong hauora and wellbeing.

Pre-Season

Our Pre-Season programme is a specific training programme aimed directly at our wharekura students Year 7-13. Pre-Season involves a 1 hour training session, two afternoon a week and consists of workout programmes that are based on cardio & high intensity work outs and are run by our Physical education teachers. Students absolutely love the programme and it is always a huge success.

Kai

As part of our dedication to quality education for all tamariki, here at kura we provide breakfast and lunch meals five days a week in our Wharekai.

 

Students are exposed to a wide range of fruits and vegetables to encourage healthy eating habits. The way the wharekai is run empowers students to make healthy choices by themselves, while ensuring they are not going hungry in class!
