What a year – like no other! Who would have thought at the start of Term 1 we were in for the ride that was 2020? Despite having so much school sport interrupted, we are really proud of everyone in school sport who worked so hard to make sure that wherever possible our students had opportunities to pull on their school colours and represent with pride.

From parents to principals, from RSDs to Sport Co-ordinators/Directors and from NSO’s to RSO’s, on behalf of tens of thousands of our students, from us at School Sport NZ we thank you for going all the extra miles in restructuring, rescheduling and reinventing school sport this year. To deliver the opportunities that have been achieved has been a mammoth piece of teamwork and while it hasn’t always been smooth sailing, give yourselves a pat on the back.

Lets hope 2021 sees a return to planned activities and in readiness for that we wish you all a safe and restful break with family and friends.
