Year 7 & 8 Sport                         

Year 7 & 8 sport is run by AAIMS - a separate organisation to our college sport (Run by College Sport Auckland and NZ Sport). (For further information: https://www.sporty.co.nz/aaimsyear78sports)
 
The idea of this is to get as many students competing at their skill level and within similar age groups. Each sport is organized into One Day Tournaments throughout each term. The sport season follows what College Sport Auckland offers to our college school (yr 9 – 13). This helps with students who play for both school and clubs within that sport.
 
Most fees are paid through our affiliation fees, with the exception of transport, if the College Van is available. We sometimes depend on parent help with transport and will send out a request along with a permission letter. Your support in this would be greatly appreciated.
 
We aim to select tournaments that encourage broader student participation while also considering the seasonal sprots and tournaments already scheduled through College Sport Auckland.
 
When we have been given the opportunity to compete, our focus is on participation. We have been working with both College Sport Auckland and AAIMS events to encourage this. Intra-school competitions have enabled the college to prepare for our Western Zone One day tournaments through College Sport Auckland.
 
We are blessed to be able to organize a team to represent St Dominic’s Catholic College as we know our community is always keen to support our students. You are more than welcome to attend any sport we participate in.
 
If you have any further questions regarding sport at Saint Dominic’s, or would like to help out with any sport through management or coaching, please feel free to get in touch.
