Sports Colours Assembly

Auckland Grammar School has a proud sporting heritage and the 2023 sporting year has added some impressive performances to this legacy which includes 27 New Zealand Representatives, eight National Championships and a number of National podium finishes and Auckland titles.

We acknowledge to perform at the highest level requires a dedication and commitment to excellence which many of our sportsman exhibit on a daily basis.

We are also fortunate to have a committed staff who give up personal time to support our students. Without this support it would not allow for the same level of opportunities for you as students within the school.

A Sporting Colour is the highest award the school can give a sportsman. Students are assessed by a committee against individual code criteria alongside needing to meet effort standards consistently in the classroom.
