The PNGHS Sports Department is committed to fostering and encouraging participation and excellence in sport.

There is a wide range of sporting opportunities where students are able to participate in a competitive or social environment.

Commencing at Year 9 with a broad foundation across all eight learning areas of the New Zealand Curriculum, our subject choices become increasingly specialised over successive years.

Students are able to participate and compete in activities such as debating, instrumental ensembles and choral groups, Kapa Haka, the annual Rock da House talent quest, school productions, cultural dance groups, wearable arts, writing, art exhibitions, speechmaking, media and much more.
