At East Taieri School we value and encourage children to get involved in a variety of physical activities. There are a number of different sports, both individual and team sports, that your child can take part in. There are a variety of different physical activity days, one off tournaments and the Sports Academy (Yr 5/6) that we also offer to the children.

Our aim is to encourage fair play and good sportsmanship, whilst providing the opportunity for children to build social and communication skills as part of teamwork. As they learn and grow together, the children will empower, inspire and care for each other.

During the summer terms the children can play: Touch, Futsal, Flippa Ball, Cricket and T-ball ( available during Term 4 of 2023).

During the Winter terms we have: Miniball, Hockey and Netball. We also work closely with the Sport Unions around Otago and have lots of other one off opportunities for children to be involved in as well.

If your child is interested in playing sport for school, it is REALLY important that you check out the school sports website for all the information and registration details for these sports. If you have an specific questions or would like to discuss which sports would be good for your child, please email our Sports Coordinator, Rachel Phillips - rachelp@east-taieri.school.nz
