SPORTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
SPORT AT NAYLAND
At Nayland College we offer many different sporting opportunities to our students throughout the school year, with over 30 Tasman Secondary School one-off events as well as seasonal sports teams.
We believe sport enhances character development when offered alongside intellectual development in the classroom and for many young people sport can help them find a place in society.
Sport teaches important life skills such as resilience, leadership, teamwork, builds connections, self-worth, enhances physical and mental wellbeing.
Most of the information that you need to know regarding sports on offer at Nayland can be found here, but we encourage students to listen carefully to daily notices to find out about upcoming opportunities and when sports registrations are open.
We also have a Sports Notice Board located in the foyer of the Red Gym, next to the Sports Office, this is where the students will find Sports Draws, Team lists, Registration forms and Event information.
If you are registering your child for a sport, fees will be loaded to your school account and must be paid promptly.
