Porirua College values our students’ participation and success in sport. We recognise the huge opportunities that sport offers to grow healthy, connected and powerful young people. Our vision for sport is to ‘develop world class people for global success’ because we know that the value of sport goes beyond just playing the game or being active. We have past pupils who have gone on to be representatives at the top level in a range of sports, as well as success in the health sector. We have also recently had NZ representatives competing on the world stage in rugby.
We have built a reputation of a school that, for our size, achieves great feats and has students going on to sporting futures. We are well known for the success of our rugby, basketball and volleyball teams. Two of our recent successes were our senior boys volleyball team winning the 2019 Wellington regional senior volleyball competition and our combined girls rugby 1st XV team winning the Wellington girls’ rugby premiership. These successes are a reflection of the values we try to grow as a school such as being engaged, being responsible, building positive relationships, having a voice, walking the talk and knowing who you are.
We value our sporting community and everyone that contributes to it, from students to coaches, parents to supporters and our local sports organisations, as well as our national sporting body. Community is what keeps us strong and there are so many opportunities for anyone to get involved and at different levels. Join the PC Sports legacy because there is a place for everyone.
We offer many leadership opportunities in relation to sport, including senior students coaching our junior teams, which has proved to be a great success. 2021 and beyond promise to be exciting years for our sporting whānau, with all sport codes getting stronger thanks to the dedication and hard work of our talented students and coaches.
We offer a wide range of other sports to choose from such as:
