Coordinator: Karen Wright
South Otago High School holds many different sporting and cultural events throughout the year. Mrs Wright is responsible for making sure these events go smoothly and efficiently.
Sporting Events
Sport is a major part of the SOHS year. The promotion of sport in our school is very important. This is accomplished by involving students in: secondary school competitions, lunchtime activities, interschool country basketball and boys netball. The school also liaises with coaches and managers in order to keep them informed about what is happening.
This year has seen Sports Ambassador, Cory Hutchings, visit the school and impart his experiences and advice to our top sportspeople. Several other schools sent their students to SOHS to listen to Cory. Interchanges between SOHS and Gore take place each year and these all require careful organization but unfortunately the weather is out of our hands.
Swimming sports, coaching visits and rafting trips are held each year. Tournament Week is also a very important sporting occasion. Interhouse sports are valued as are Have-a-go days as they involve most of the student body.
Athletics 2010
The annual Athletic Sports were held on Tuesday 23rd February. The weather was great and the students dressed in their house colours. Altogether a very successful day. Below is a slideshow of some of the photos taken by Mr Munro.
