Sport

Sport is a vital part of life at Onehunga High School. Our vision at OHS is ‘Sporting Participation and Excellence’. We develop culture, tradition and success through encouragement, commitment, discipline and personal responsibility.

It is our intention to encourage as many of our students as possible to get involved in playing sport and do the very best that they can to have fun and add to the success of those who have gone before them.

Sports List

Please note that sports (eg. golf, lawn bowls) may also be offered during the year.

Being a member of an Onehunga High School sports team encourages health and physical fitness and also develops character, leadership and interpersonal skills in our students. Students need to and are expected to honour their commitment to their team for the season attending all trainings and games on time, wearing correct uniform, enjoying the challenges of the season and the company of fellow students.

We have a proud tradition of sporting success at Onehunga High School with the following codes regularly competing in the top grades in Auckland:

• Volleyball - boys and girls
• Rugby - boys and girls
• Football - boys and girls

The Sports Council works to run sporting events at school.

Students wishing to further progress in their sport at junior level have the opportunity to do so through involvement in the JETS (Junior Emerging Talent Squads) in a number of sports.  As well as this, students have the option of selecting the Year 10 curriculum class, 10ADP (Athlete Development Programme).  The curriculum in this class covers many elements that contribute to high level sporting performance.

We hope all students take the opportunity to become part of the Onehunga High School sports programme.
