We enjoy a large and thriving Sports programme at Sancta Maria College.
The Sports Management Team at our college consists of a Director of Sport, Sports Coordinator and Sports Assistant. This team along with the Sports Committee and a team of dedicated volunteers deliver an excellent and growing range of Sports to our students.
Sancta Maria College prides itself on a high participation rate and increasing success in a number of different sporting codes.

Our school offers a wide range of co-curricular activities that cater to the various needs, experiences and abilities of our students. This allows our young people to develop their talents and interests, celebrate their culture and give service to both the school and wider community.
The core sports listed in the Sports Guide are those for which there is consistently high participation, success, or codes we are prioritising. The other codes are sports that we offer on a case-by-case scenario and that we aim to develop into our core programme in the near future.
We pride ourselves in sporting success and high student participation in physical activity and organised sport. Our teams participate consistently and achieve highly at local, regional and national level events with some individuals gaining selection into New Zealand and other international teams.
