You will continue a rich and varied sporting tradition at St Andrew’s. From Years 4 to 12 you will participate in a sport and/or cultural activity each week, throughout the summer and winter terms. You will have the opportunity to attend inter-school competitions at local, regional, national and perhaps even international level.  Many of our top teams in targeted sports achieve outstanding success in regular national competitions. Our much-anticipated annual athletics, swimming and cross-country events will also be on your agenda.

A feature of our co-curriculum is the extraordinary variety of sports available to you.

Preparatory School

Sport is compulsory in Years 4 to 8 of the Preparatory School, as is participation in our annual athletics, swimming, cross-country and duathlon events. Sports offered include cricket, touch, soccer, rugby, netball, basketball, hockey, tennis and water polo.

Secondary School

In the Secondary School, a choice of over 30 sports is offered, ranging from “target” sports such as rugby, netball, hockey and rowing, to lesser-known activities like target shooting, yachting and multisport. Our programme is certain to feature a sport that fits your talents and interests. You can download a copy of our latest Sports and Activities booklet, using the link on the left, to view the full range of opportunities open to you.

As I reflect back on another busy term, I am once again amazed at the variety of events and activities that we have managed to pack into eleven weeks.  Once again, there have been many reasons to celebrate, and successes to acknowledge.

Events have included Swimming and Athletics Sports Days, Founders’ Day, Governor-General’s Dinner, Boarding House Opening, Open Days and the creation of our very own ‘Lip Dub’, This is Us – all opportunities to enjoy our special StAC spirit and showcase some of our outstanding student talent.  Thank you to parents, PTA, Old Collegians and Board members who joined in on these occasions.

Let us show you around...

Chapel Update

Chapel Bridge SM

The College is ready to embark on rebuilding its Memorial Chapel which was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquakes. The Chapel is a significant facility that services the large St Andrew’s community which has a strong emotional connection to the present building. After a robust consultation process the decision has been made to deconstruct the existing Chapel and build a larger Chapel able to meet the College’s future needs.
