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.

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 Dargaville High School at the forefront of the sporting field.

In 2026, we will offer junior and senior rugby academies which will be timetables into students' learning programmes.
