3 Papamoa School has a sports programme available to
students from all levels and of all abilities. Students will be able to
try new sports, develop sport specific skills, and strengthen existing
skills. The programme also provides an opportunity for students to
create, develop and strengthen friendships and social skills inside and
outside of the classroom.
At primary school level we should be
encouraging children to try a broad range of sports and codes without
pigeonholing or guiding them into one specific area. We offer a wide
range of sports from Athletics to Water Polo where our students have the
opportunity to ‘give it a go’, or compete with the ‘best’.
Primary
school sports are heavily reliant on supportive parents and whanau, and
we are always looking for enthusiastic mums and dads to coach or manage
our teams. Experience is not needed, the time commitment is minimal, and
it is a very rewarding experience to be involved in the start of our
students' sporting pathways.
These pages will showcase some of the
sports we are involved in.

Houses
In 2010 we introduced 'houses' for our
in-school sports and cultural activities. All students are placed
into one of the following houses: Kowhai - yellow, Matai -white,
Rimu - red and Totara - green. ( Families join the same house).
Students are given opportunities throughout the year to earn points for
their house by participating in various activities.

Netball
Netball is a very popular winter sport at our
school. Below are some of our netball girls with some of the "Magics"
team members.

Swimming
Papamoa School students are fortunate to have the use of our beautiful
25 metre heated pool throughout the summer months.

Surfing
Surfing is a popular sport in the Bay of Plenty so we ensure our
children have the opportunity to "give it a go."
