Whanau Sports
Swimming 7th March
The Whanau sports competitions are a popular part of the
sporting calendar. Kamo High School is famous for their
colourful Whanau swimming sports day at the beginning
of the year. Students compete in their Whanau groups
doing fun competitions such as "Synchronized swimming",
chariot races, and march and chant . Points are earned
for your Whanau for participation. Other events on the
calendar are Cross country and tabloid sports. Lunchtime
challenges happen throughout the year and include
unihoc, volleyball, indoor soccer, and ultimate Frisbee.
Both senior and junior students are encouraged to have a
go, with whole Whanau participation in one of the events
throughout the year – the goal. The five Whanau groups;
Tapere, Rangi, Moana, Kaha and
Waima challenge each other at different activities – not
Just sports - with the Whanau shield going to the
overall winner at the end of the year.

Centre of Excellence Programmes
Kamo High School runs a Centre of excellence programme for the following sports; Hockey, Rugby, Cricket
and Basketball. These centres are used to develop skills and fitness for players in the top teams as well as
developing potential players for the next season. COE programmes are dedicated one school period per
week (plus lunchtime) to use for specific training exercises, while they are still expected to attend separate
team trainings after school hours. We have a very dedicated and high level quality of coaches running each
of these centres; there is no extra cost to players above that of their sports fees.
Rugb
y
The Kamo High School Rugby centre of excellence was
established by Brad Miller in 2013 who is a PE teacher at the
school with the aim to raise the standard of school boy rugby in
Northland. The centre focuses on nurturing and holding onto
talented young players and providing an organised rugby
programme to challenge, progress skills, fitness and tactics.
Students in the centre will have access to Initiatives and tools
aligned to the current NZRU high performance programme and
individual performance plans. The centre is for the 1st XV and JB9
