​​​​​​​Sports Registration

Contained in this information are lists of sports available for summer, winter and all year round.  If you compete in a code other than those listed please register this under Minor/Other code together with an expression of interest to compete in any specific events. This will help when opportunities arise to compete in sanctioned events.

It is important to note that to be eligible to receive any School Award for sport you must represent St Oran’s in that code – the exemption being where we are unable to offer a specific code which is sanctioned by NZSSSC (New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Sports Council).

When completing your registrations for summer and winter sport we ask you to keep in mind that all our coaches and managers are volunteers, and in many cases take time off work to assist with sport.  Therefore, it is important that you take your commitment seriously and make yourself available for all practices and games unless otherwise arranged with your coach and manager.

All sport codes and teams are subject to numbers and availability of coaches and managers.

Please note that the competition days stated are set on historical information and may change slightly – however all students will be notified if this occurs.

Newsletter and Facebook Page

Regular newsletters and facebook page updates are available on line keeping the community updated on life and events at St Oran’s.  Please keep us informed of your daughter’s achievements so that all relevant information is available when organising the St Oran’s sports and cultural awards evening, end of year prize giving and the College Sport Wellington Sportspersons of the Year Awards.


Coaches, Managers and Officals

For St Oran’s to be able to offer sports we need your support.  Coaches, managers and officials are always in short supply.  Please do not hesitate in coming forward to help out. Basic, refresher and advanced courses are available to you at no cost. Senior students have done a great job in ‘filling the gaps’, however, the reality is that the pressure of juggling their own academic work, culture and sport sometimes takes its toll.


Transport

Please be aware that transport to and from venues is your own responsibility.  Demands on the School vans are becoming greater and greater and the need cannot always be met.

Adults are able to drive the school vans, if available, to transport teams but for insurance purposes must first supply a copy of their full drivers licence, (front and back).  Please leave a copy at the school office or scan and email to Barb Bialy, Head of Sport at BBialy@storans.school.nz .
