Sport @ Sonrise
Sport is a popular pastime and entertainment here in Aotearoa and at Sonrise Christian School it is no exception.  We value fair play but also desire to win.

Our children have many varied talents and skills and it is important for us to provide every opportunity possible for them to be involved in whatever sport they have a passion for as well as give them a chance to try something new.

If a student is desiring to be involved with sports that we do not currently offer, we help to make connections to those that can through our effective networks. We do this through working with other schools, School Partnership Coordinators for Primary and Intermediate levels, and Regional Sports Directors for Secondary Schools.

NOTE:  All sports listed below are seasonal and depend on parent coaches to help run teams.
