Skiing

Introduction

Auckland Grammar School offers skiers the opportunity to join a competitive team that trains and races in the third term of the year. The ski team trains over several weekends and competes at the North Island Secondary School Skiing Championships on Mt. Ruapehu.

In 2013, Auckland Grammar became the first public school to win the championship since 1990.
