Mahurangi College takes pride in our successful touch rugby program, competing at North Harbour, Auckland, and National tournaments.
We welcome players of all skill levels—from beginner to elite—across boys’, girls’, and mixed grades. Many of our students progress to represent North Harbour and New Zealand in various age groups.

Premier Teams: Play Monday evenings in the Greater Auckland competition.
All other Senior Teams: Play Tuesday evenings at North Harbour.
Where numbers allow, some Year 9–10 students may be able to participate. We welcome Year 9/10 students; however, if numbers do not allow, they may be asked to participate in the Year 9/10 module during Term 4 instead.
