To increase sporting participation at the school, a sports day was held.
All of the school's 760 pupils were able to try their hand at 20 different sports from rowing to rugby, petanque to mountain biking.
The brainchild of teacher Neil Mackenzie, the idea was to get pupils to try as many sports as possible and maybe take one of them up.
The day started with a 1km run along Kaikorai Valley Rd for all pupils.
The school has one of the lowest participation rates of pupils in sport, which is a marked difference from the 1980s when its teams dominated in rugby and cricket.
School sports co-ordinator Theresa Johnson said the day had been a great success with pupils enjoying a wide range of sports.
She said the onus was now on pupils to play sport.
She said more years 7 to 8 pupils were playing sport so progress was being made and would hopefully work through the school.
