Sports Information 2021
INTRODUCTION Sport and cultural activities are seen as a major part of a student's life at John McGlashan College. Sport is encouraged for students in Years 7-13, as are the inter-house Haka, athletics, swimming and cross-country events. Staff try to cater for a wide variety of interests and abilities, and encourage both elite performance and enthusiastic involvement. John McGlashan College has a proud history and strength in both sport and the performing arts. They are seen as an important part of the College, and contribute much to the culture and experience that is John McGlashan College. There is a wide range of sporting opportunities for students to take part in.
STUDENT SPORTING OBLIGATIONS All students from Year 9 until Year 13 are encouraged to take part in at least one summer and one winter sport or activity. If they choose an activity that runs for the whole year, they should also take part in at least one other activity in either summer or winter.

Students with their own vehicles are not to take passengers in their cars without the knowledge of the coach or manager of the team and without the written permission of the parents/guardians both the driver and the passengers concerned.

To help provide extra equipment, court hire, functions or affiliation fees, all sports and activities have a subscription attached to them. Where there are direct costs involved for things such as the hire of facilities transport and accommodation, these will be charged to students accounts.
