International :: Epsom Girls Grammar School

The school is particularly strong in soccer. EGGS is currently national champion in Dragon Boating and will represent New Zealand at the world championships in Sydney.

There are many sport codes in between from under-water hockey to lacrosse to fencing to sailing.

Our school has a fine reputation for the wide range of sporting codes offered, for its very high participation rate in sport and for its sporting successes catering for all levels of ability.

Support

Sport is supported by a Sports Coordinator staff member with particular responsibility, a part-time ancillary sports assistant, large numbers of staff, parents and senior student coaches, managers, umpires and a Sports Council comprised of interested past and present parents, staff and the student Games Captain.

Each sporting code has a staff liaison person and a student captain.

Recognition

Sporting success is honoured at our weekly sports assemblies and at the annual Sports Dinner attended by students, staff, parents, coaches and friends of the school. This prestigious event in the school calendar is held in Term Four. Teams and individuals who have experienced success at all levels in the current year receive their trophies and awards, school colours are presented to outstanding sportswomen and sports scholarships and awards are announced.

Participation

We offer a strong, vibrant sporting programme and sport retains a high profile within the school. Our philosophy is providing as many sporting and recreational opportunities as possible.

Sports are seasonal. Therefore, not all sports are available at all times. Some teams are competitive and entrance is by trial. To take part students need to be present at the time of year when the teams are selected.
