Inter-School Sports

SW can provide advice for the sports clusters to ensure sports tournaments are of quality and an enjoyable experience for all concerned. This could involve:

  • Meeting with event organisers for pre event planning
  • Linking in outside providers to the tournament and or overall strengthening of the zone.

Sport Wellington maintains regular communication with the convenors of each zone and endeavours to send a representative to the respective zone meetings. SW collates zone information and produces a calendar of zone sports tournaments. If you require information for your zone events please contact your zone convenor in the first instance.
