Carisbrook School provides a wide variety of opportunities for students to participate in sport and other recreational activities. The most popular sports that Carisbrook School students participate in after school competitions are Rippa Rugby, Netball, Basketball and Futsal.

As well as the after school sports opportunities provided for Carisbrook students there are numerous sports and recreation activities held at school for students. Some of these are mentioned below.

Mr Tony Roche is the Teacher in charge of sport at Carisbrook school. This year we hope to build up a network of Teachers, whānau and friends with the right skill set to join us in this rewarding activity of Coaching and Managing. Please contact Tony if you are keen on any of these roles.

We have a 'no pay no play' policy at Carisbrook - this means if you opt into a sport you will need to pay the related fees upfront. This cannot be put on your account.
