Tawa College is part of Active As, a pilot initiative funded by SportNZ.

The aim of Active As is to increase the physical activity of college aged students, especially those who are currently inactive.  A student management group plans, promotes and facilitates fun activities each week to engage students.  The college also has a sports resource 'library' from which students can borrow sports equipment during lunchtime to further support Tawa College students to be more active.
