Our school's hockey program operates on dual fronts to cater to a diverse range of student interests. For those seeking a dynamic experience, we offer a mixed team 6-a-side competition. This exciting opportunity is open to all students interested in playing, with teams competing in the Whakatane Year 7 and 8 competition every Friday afternoon. To make this possible, we rely on the invaluable support of parents who contribute to coaching and running practices. Your assistance in this regard would be greatly appreciated. In addition to our inclusive 6-a-side competition, we have our elite Tier 1 teams. These teams actively participate in the local secondary school league and engage in prestigious competitions such as the Super 11 Winter Tournament, AIMS Games, and more. To identify and form these competitive teams, specific trials are conducted in late Term 1. We invite enthusiastic parents to join us in fostering a love for hockey among our students. Whether it's supporting the mixed teams or contributing to the success of our Tier 1 squads, your involvement is key to the growth and achievement of our hockey program.
