Sport & Physical Education

Sport and the teaching of Physical Education skills are a regular part of the school programme. A range of kiwi sports activities have been introduced and are practiced during class and leisure times. 

We have teams competing in a range of “Saturday” and interschool sport. The teams are coached by both teachers and parents. The sports include basketball, netball, hockey, touch rugby, athletics, cross country running, and swimming.

Our Pukete Kapa haka is a performing arts group that perform at various school events, special occasions and community organisations.

Drama & Production

Every 2nd year our Year 5 & 6 children are involved in presenting the school production for example Maui Catches the Sun, Peter Pan, Pukete Idol, Tuishi Pamoja and Choca Block. Te Manawa, our hall, converts to a theatre complete with lights and sound system. The Year 5 & 6 children all take part in various roles ranging from sound technicians to dancers.
