Belfast School —

We are very proud of our rich sporting heritage at Pūtahi Belfast School. Much of this is due to the wonderful facilities we use such as Sheldon Park, the pool, netball and tennis courts.

The tireless efforts of teachers and parents contribute greatly to supporting and coaching children in team sports such as netball, rugby, soccer, volleyball, gymnastics and basketball.

At Pūtahi Belfast School students are exposed to a wide variety of different sports that are an integral part of our whole school curriculum.

During the school year all students take part in school wide competition in Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics. Successful 9 year olds to 12 year olds are eligible to enter Zone competitions against other schools in our area.

The New Entrant and Junior classes are also involved in these school wide competitions which are modified to cater for the skill level of the younger children.

All senior children from Year 5 up have the opportunity to represent the school in Winter Sports Teams that travel to Rangiora on a weekly basis.
