Sports
Maria Thurlow
There are many sporting activities at Verdon College in which students can be involved in as part of being a well-rounded person living a fit and healthy lifestyle. Competition against other schools is celebrated at Verdon College. Challenging students to develop new skills and to apply these in competition is an important part of our co-curricular programmes. The lessons learned through students’ participation in sport enables them to deal with the ups and downs of life. Developing team spirit and an understanding of how to contribute to others’ success provides important lessons for our students in their development as good citizens of the College.
Students are exposed to a wide range of sporting activities through our Physical Education programme, where they can develop their skills and confidence in a practical environment.
Our lovely Sports Co-ordinators, Di Griffiths and Maria Thurlow, are available Monday - Friday in the Gym office to help students develop a passion for sport. They can also be contacted at sports@verdoncollege.school.nz
