St Peter’s take great pride in their success in the sporting arena, in both specialist and mainstream sport. With world-class facilities at the school, as well as on their doorstep in the sporting hub of Cambridge, St Peter’s students have every opportunity to excel in their chosen sport.
The school has produced many talented rugby players over the years, and despite being a relatively small, co-ed school, students are very well represented in Waikato age-group teams, as well as Super Rugby and New Zealand representative teams.
In the CNI competition, we particularly enjoy, competing against likeminded schools with similar values and standards. 2023 will see a team mixed with youth and experience. We have a number of young players coming through the ranks who bring enthusiasm and energy, who will be supported by senior students Kaleb Tapara, Kash Farmer, Maraekaiti Nepia and Dylan Eti.
While rugby has always been highly valued in the school, the introduction of our Rugby Academy programme in 2017 has seen major growth in rugby, assisting in the development of skill and depth in rugby across the school. We are seeing positive growth in the number of rugby playing students.
