Sport/Physical Education

Harewood School —

All children are given numerous opportunities to participate in Sport and PE.

Children throughout the school participate in sport and PE including Kiwisport.

Expansive and sheltered grounds ensure that we can offer the children a variety of sports throughout the year.

Year 4-6 children take part in zone sporting events and competitions organised between local schools.

Inter school sport is participated in by year 5 and 6 children during the winter months.

There are many opportunities for out of school sport and are run only with the support of parents. School-wide touch competition is run after school at Nunweek Park for all year levels from October to March. Hockey teams play on Monday evenings for years 3-6, basketball  for years 5-6 and netball for years 3-5. Notices are sent home regarding these.

Perceptual Motorskills Programme

All junior children participate in a Perceptual Motorskills Programme (PMP). This programme helps develop hand eye co-ordination, memory and basic motor skills. Children circulate around 4 activity stations each session. PMP is run twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays during Terms 2 and 3 and is facilitated by one of our great teacher aides with the help of parents on a roster. Please let your child's teacher know if you are able to help.
