‘Sporting Participation and Excellence’.
Sport is a vital part of life at Onehunga High School. Our vision is ‘Sporting Participation and
Excellence’. We develop culture, tradition and success through encouragement, commitment,
discipline and personal responsibility.
Onehunga High School has a rich tradition of sporting achievement and participation across a number of sports in
Auckland, regional and national competitions. Every student at Onehunga High School has the opportunity to get
involved in one or more of the many sports offered. These include summer and winter sports, and both individual
and team sports. Sport can help students develop skills such as leadership, discipline, teamwork and commitment.
In addition to the formal inter-school competitions that teams compete in, the school offers in-school sporting
events such as cross country and athletics days and inter-class lunchtime sports. Social sport competitions outside
of school hours are also a way for students to involve themselves in non-competitive sport
It is our intention to encourage as many students as possible to get involved in playing sports for Onehunga High
School. Our aim every year is to get 50% of the school playing summer & winter sport. Achieving this will result in
having our own pool of talented athletes to continue our success and add to our strong traditions and sporting
culture.
In order to maintain high standards in our sports program and develop our students on and off the field in their
chosen sport the following must be agreed to as part of your coaching position.
