HOCKEY

BADMINTON
Run in conjunction with the New Zealand Badminton Academy we offer skills training for all levels from social, intermediate to advanced.
GOLF
Golf has proven to be a popular addition to the Sports School programme and, because of this, fills up very quickly. The sessions vary with tee shots, the short game, and driving being a focus of most sessions. Golf is run off-site by the Institute of Golf at Ellerslie Race Course.
ARCHERY
Archery is a great sport that is both competitive and social. Our instructors have only 4 out of 8 students shooting at one time so that they can have their full focus on a small number of students.
