SPORT NOTICES

Sports notices are circulated daily in the Daily Information Sheet (DIS). Form teachers read these out at form time, at assemblies and at Form time.They can also be accessed on the dashboard when you log into the school website. Many Sports have individual notice boards situated around the school. Draws, training, trial notices and general sports information is updated through all these mediums. Some sports operate a google classroom for their registrations and communications.

SPORTING ACHIEVEMENTS

During the course of the year the school wishes to acknowledge and applaud the sporting achievements of our boys. This applies equally to all codes whether they are played at Tauranga Boys' College or not. There are many students that have regional and national success in major codes that we are aware of through our network of coaches and administrators, however there can be times where we are not informed. To this end if you are an athlete or know of an athlete that has had regional and/or national success can you please let us know in the Titans office or by emailing [email protected].

SPORTS EXCHANGES

Throughout the year we have a number of sports exchanges. At first team level there is the NZ Super Eight Schools' competition for many of our sports. This involves round robin or tournament based competition against Hamilton Boys' High School, New Plymouth Boys' High School, Gisborne Boys' High School, Napier Boys' High School, Hastings Boys' High School, Rotorua Boys' High School and Palmerston North Boys' High School.

We also have exchanges summer and winter for 1st and sometimes 2nd teams against Auckland Grammar School, Westlake Boys’ High School, Kelston Boys' High School and junior fixtures against Rotorua Boys’ High School, Napier Boys' High School and Hamilton Boys’ High School.

There is an expectation that all students involved in inter school fixtures will billet members of visiting teams, unless exceptional circumstances prevent this from occurring.


SPORTS TOURNAMENTS

Teams from Tauranga Boys' College compete in regional, national and international competition throughout the year.

The NZSS Tournament weeks (Winter and Summer) will see teams travel outside of the Bay of Plenty area.

Tauranga Boys’ College will pay a portion of entry fees for any sanctioned BOPSS and NZSSSC event for priority sports. Where entry fees are considerable the athletes will be asked to contribute toward some of the cost.

All tournament costs will be forwarded to you 6 weeks prior. The same policy regarding payment is applicable for this. Pay or AP before you leave through the school office or you will be unable to participate.
