Social Sport

School Sport Canterbury is committed to offering fun, inclusive, and low‑pressure opportunities that encourage students to be active and enjoy sport in a social setting. While we do not currently have any social sport programs running, we are actively exploring new alternative and social sport initiatives to support participation and wellbeing across our schools.

If your school is interested in developing or taking part in social or alternative sport opportunities, please contact the School Sport Canterbury team—we’d love to hear from you.

Active Wāhine - Girls Group Fitness

Active Wāhine Girls Group Fitness is a supportive, girls‑only movement programme designed to help young wāhine build confidence, get active, and enjoy fitness in a space created just for them. Delivered in partnership with local providers, the programme offers fun, accessible workouts that cater to all fitness levels — whether you’re new to physical activity or looking for a fresh way to move.

Each session focuses on creating a positive, inclusive environment where girls can try new forms of fitness, develop their strength, and connect with others. Active Wāhine Girls Group Fitness is all about empowering young wāhine to feel good, move confidently, and discover what they’re capable of.

Spaces are limited, see your sports coordinator about how you can be involved.
