Welcome to the Aotea College Sports Department
We view sport as an important extracurricular activity and encourage all students to participate in at least one sports team or activity each year. Please familiarise yourself with the school website and sports pages as information will be updated regularly as sports opportunities become available.
The Director of Sports, Deslee Wrathall: wrl@aotea.school.nz is responsible for overseeing the delivery of sports to year 9-13 students. She oversees the school sports clubs, teams and activities provided by College Sport Wellington (CSW) and New Zealand Secondary School Sport Council (NZSSSC).
