← Back to Sports: Education Outside the Classroom

Athletics is a summer sport and students compete in Term 4 in the School’s Athletics Championships held at Te Koromiko Swannanoa School.

Te Koromiko Swannanoa School Junior Athletics (Yr 0-4) and Senior Athletics (Yr 5-8) are held every year in Term 4. It's a great day, and a chance for the tamariki to show off their athletics skills. Parents are encouraged to come along and support them.

Tamariki in Years 5 and upwards who qualify, will then go on to compete on behalf of our kura at the Pegasus Zones Athletics event, and those who are successful there will go on to compete at the Canterbury Zones.

Tamariki may compete in their house colours at the school events. Tamariki will get daily PE sessions carried out by their classroom kaiako leading into athletics. For further training, tamariki will need to undertake their own personal training.

The kura activity top and jacket will be provided for the Zone or Canterbury events.
