Welcome to Sport
at Northcote Intermediate School
We believe that sport is about the journey not the destination. We always aim to win and do our best, but never at the expense of fair play, and respecting ourselves and others.
With students of this age, we walk a tightrope between their ever-increasing desire and pressure to win, and the importance of creating and maintaining an experience where students look forward to continuing an active lifestyle at secondary school and beyond.
The feeling of winning will be temporary, but the lessons learned in sport can be used for a lifetime.
As administrators of sport, we know that it is inevitable that we will have to make difficult decisions around player selection and placement. Our community can be assured that decision making will be made with these principles at heart. Volunteer coaches and managers are vital to the success of any season. Without these offers of support we may not be able to enter teams.

Police Vetting
School policy is that we police vet coaches and managers responsible for seasonal sports teams who are likely to be alone with students. This process protects both helpers, students and the school. We ask coaches and managers to download and complete the form and send it to our Sports Co-ordinator Christo Peters complete with a copy of both sides of your drivers licence.
Should you be interested in coaching or managing a team, please register your interest with our Sports Coordinator, Christo Peters at christop@ni.school.nz. You will need to complete a Police Vetting form and send through identification. You can download a Police vetting form here.
