Sports

Sport provides opportunities for personal fitness, self-discipline and development of team play. Competition teams represent the school in rugby, netball, soccer, swimming, athletics, cross-country, equestrian, basketball, cricket and volleyball.

Years 9 and 10 have timetabled Physical Education lessons. Years 11, 12 and 13 can opt to take Physical Education.

The school has a well-equipped gymnasium, large playing fields, floodlit Astro grass surface (suitable for netball, tennis and hockey), weight training room and a heated indoor swimming pool. The 22 metre indoor swimming pool is fully utilised by the school and the local swimming club. The gymnasium incorporates a climbing wall for budding rock climbers.

Cricket is also a popular sport - Dargaville High School's First XI play in a men's league. The First XI is made up from a mixture of juniors, seniors and a few Dargaville old boys.

The school is fortunate enough to have a Sports Coordinator. His job role is co-ordination of all sports within the school and within the district. The Sports Coordinator works closely with Sports Northland, keeping ʱat the forefront of the sporting field.

We have a few rugby league players amongst our pupils who are gaining regional recognition for their talents. Rugby is also an important part of our extra-curricular activities and we have parents to thank for their contribution to our sporting program.

Also, thanks to parents, we have an Equestrian team and a trap-shooting team - part of our extra-curricular activities program.
