SPORTS

Rongotai College recognises the role of sport and co-curricular activities in providing students with valuable learning experiences outside of the classroom.

The Sports Department has a director and a full time sports co-ordinator whose roles are to oversee all sports and co-curricular activities at the college, encourage students to be involved, promote new sports and physical activities and observe the "Fair Play" charter.

Rongotai has a strong tradition of achievement in many sporting codes and is proud of its many provincial and national representatives, such as Soccer All Whites (Wynton and Shane Rufer, Chris Killen), All Blacks (Graham Williams, Clive Currie, Ofisa Junior Tonu'u and Ma'a Nonu), and Black Caps (Ian Smith, Bruce Edgar and Jeetan Patel).
