BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

Overview

Our Sports Values and Code of Conduct are the guiding principles for sport at Havelock North High School. Our school has excellent training facilities including a large gymnasium complex, expansive playing fields, an all-weather hockey turf, tennis courts, netball courts, cricket nets and a swimming pool. If there is a sport that we do not offer at school, we will support your child in pursuit of that sport.

The school takes part in sports exchanges with other secondary schools in the Central and Southern North Island, enabling both junior and senior school teams to visit other schools and compete in a wide range of summer and winter codes.

Sport Values

Aim to excel - Whaia te iti kahurangi

Persevere and do not let obstacles get in your way while striving to reach your goals. Reflecting upon the biggest battle in aspiration can be facing the maunga from within.

Be responsible - Takohanga

Attend all required meetings, training sessions, and be available for all designated games. Notify my coach in advance if I am going to be late and/or unavailable.

Be respectful - Whakaute

Respect all officials, teammates, coaches, supporters and opponents. Students' behaviour both within school and in sports must be acceptable at all times.

Culture

Havelock North High School has an enviable reputation nationally in the performing arts. Drama and music can be studied at all levels in the school curriculum and there is keen competition to participate in the many co-curricular opportunities offered. The proud tradition of choral music performance is exemplified by the five choirs that operate, enabling students to participate in choral music for the sheer enjoyment or to work towards levels of choral excellence.
