The Super Sport Competition is exclusive to intermediate schools in the Wairarapa, Manawatū, Horowhenua, and Whanganui Regions. It aims to provide a platform for our top athletes to compete inter-school. We believe that participating in this competition fosters:

 - high-level skill development

 - understanding and application of the six principles of fair play 

- a strong sense of pride in representing one’s school 

- the cultivation of high standards in attitude, behavior, and sports uniform
