Major Sports Codes

BASKETBALL

Pakūranga College has experienced huge growth in its basketball programme over the past few years. This year our Premier Boys’ and Premier Girls’ teams are competing in Senior A and Open A grades respectively. To ensure that our development continues, we are running an internal competition for our students. We also run holiday training camps and basketball skills sessions.

NETBALL

Netball is one of our most popular sports, with a large number of participants. We have 16 netball teams, most of which compete in the Auckland Secondary Schools Competition on Saturdays at Morrin Road. We have opportunities for student coaches, umpires, and managers and have teams for all levels and ages. The Premier team plays in the Premier Reserve Grade and is currently preparing for their UNISS tournament.

RUGBY

We are currently in a rebuilding phase with our programme. After some good work developing our junior programme last year, we are reaping the benefits with the 1st XV. The 1st XV is competing in the Auckland 1B Grade, and we have launched a Girls’ 10s team this year, also.

FOOTBALL

Our college has a strong football fraternity. This year the football programme includes eight boys teams, which compete in the Auckland Secondary Schools Competition, and three girls teams, which compete in the Greater Auckland Competition. Our 1st XI Girls’ team competes in the A1 Grade, while our 1st XI Boys’ team plays in A3.

HOCKEY

Hockey is one of the stronger and more competitive sports currently offered at Pakūranga College, and this year we have six teams participating in the Auckland Secondary Schools Competition - two boys teams, three girls teams, and one mixed team. This season the 1st XI Boys’ team has been promoted to the Premier Grade, and our 1st XI Girls’ team is competing in the Open A Grade. Senior teams are currently preparing for their national tournaments.

TABLE TENNIS

We have a large number of table tennis teams competing on Friday nights in the Auckland Secondary Schools Competition. Our more competitive teams play at Gillies Avenue in the Premier and Senior A Grades, and the remaining teams play in a local competition at Saint Kentigern College. Our players are fortunate to be coached by national table tennis representative coach, Dinyar Irani. Along with Dinyar and Auckland Table Tennis, we run a community table tennis programme at the school throughout the year.

BADMINTON

Badminton is one of the fastest growing sports at Pakūranga College, with very high levels of student participation. We play in the Auckland competition in Terms 2 and 3. Our teams range from A Grade, playing competitively, to development teams playing in a more social grade.
