Tranport to Sporting Events

Transport to and from specific seasonal and individual sporting events varies.  Each student will receive permission forms which will clearly outlines transport requirements for that sports season or event 

 

Weekly Sports played AFTER school

For sports that take place after school (start and finish after 3:20pm) AGGS will provide transport to the venue.  AGGS does not provide transport back to school or to individual homes.  Parents/guardians are required to collect/arrange collection from the venue at the end of the game/match.  In extreme circumstances or games further afield, this situation may change on these occasions students will be dropped back at school at the end of the game/match.  Some examples include when the lacrosse team have to travel to a game in Whangaparaoa, the rugby team has to travel to Pukekohe or the soccer team has to travel to Waiheke Island

 

Local Tournaments DURING the school day

For tournaments that start and finish during the school day transport will be provided to and from the venue.  Examples of these tournaments include the Netball Combined Points Tournament, ANC Pre-season and North Harbour Netball Tournaments, Auckland Volleyball Championships, as well as Swimming Zones Competitions.  Some events are completely user-pays/one-off events and in most cases students will be expected to make their own way to and from these one day events.  An example of such a trip is the All Schools Petanque Competition at Herne Bay.  Students will be fully briefed on arrangements

 

Local Tournaments played OUTSIDE school hours (after 5.00 p.m.) & weekly sports played DURING the weekend

Students are expected to organise transport to and from these events unless specifically told otherwise.  AGGS does not provide transport to the event, back to the school or to individual homes.  Examples of these events include Touch Regional's, weekly Netball games and Water polo games, Touch Regional's, weekly Netball games and Sunday Water polo games

 

NATIONAL and REGIONAL Events

Transport will always be provided to National and Regional events allowing teams to travel to events together as these usually require overnight stays.  These events tend to be played during Summer Sports and Winter Sports

Tournament Week.  They may also take place at the end of the year and include Netball Upper North Island Tournament, Athletics Nationals, Basketball Nationals, Volleyball Nationals, Touch Nationals, Softball Nationals, Waka Ama Nationals and Netball Nationals.  Students will be given sufficient notice of these events

 

Exception - National and Regional Events that are located within the Auckland area and do not involve over night stays fall into the same category as local tournaments played during the school day.  Unless specified transport will be provided to and from the venue.  Please check the event information and permission form for specific details.
