ACG Athletics Days

Our Athletics Days are important school events on our annual sporting calendar.  

In 2024 we have some exciting changes to the year group structure of our school Athletics days. 

Our Term 1 Athletics Day held at the Tauranga Domain will become an event for Year 09-13 secondary students only.  The Year 07-08 students will now participate in an event in Term 4, that will include our Year 05-06 students.  This event will also be held at the Tauranga Domain.  An Athletics Day for Year 01-04 students will also remain in Term 4 and continue to be held at school.

These changes will create better alignment for our Year 07-08 students to their next stage events, also held in Term 4 and increase the time available for training and preparation before these athletics events.

For our  Year 09-13 students the changes will allow us to align our programme with the Bay of Plenty Secondary Schools Athletics programme, and include additional event options such as 3000m and increased relay events. 

For our Year 05-06 students, competing at the Tauranga Domain will provide a better athletics experience and enable students to experience all event options available. 

​​​​​​​For both the Year 09-13 and Year 05-08 Athletics Days, students will need to register for the events they wish to compete in.
