Sport is an integral part of school life at Stratford Primary School:
We pride ourselves on having plenty of opportunities for the children both during and outside of classroom time.
Over the winter months the children can be seen representing the school in hockey, netball and basketball. We also work closely with the local clubs for the children who wish to play football (soccer) and rugby.
During the school year, there are various tournaments and events run, which we attend including golf days, both girls and boys cricket, rippa rugby and sevens rugby, and the tough guy/girl challenges. In addition to this, we have various annual sports exchanges (Year 5-8) as well as our own school swimming, athletics, triathlon and cross country days.
Sport Taranaki have come to our school and offered various programmes over the years.
As you can see, sport is alive and well at S.P.S and we are working hard to ensure all levels and abilities are catered for so that everyone can see the enormous benefits sport and being physically active can provide.
Cost for School Sports:
Boards may charge for sports trips or activities that are outside the curriculum, for example school sports teams. Participation in these activities is optional and schools can enforce payment where they have agreed that a child can participate. There will be Sports Fees for all after school and weekend sport. Payment must be received before the season begins for tamariki to be eligible to participate.
