Tournament Teams
Each year our Senior 1 teams head off to the NZ Schools Tournament Week. Schools throughout NZ send their top teams to compete in numerous sports at various venues. It’s a week that provides more than sport for the teams that compete. There are fun times and hard times, the students learn a lot about themselves and how they compete under pressure. For many students it is the highlight of their school year.
All players must have a school tracksuit, or the school jacket and plain navy tracksuit trousers. Players will wear these when travelling to and from the venues. These are on sale in the school uniform shop or you may borrow one.
Please make sure you have updated the school health centre with full medical information pertaining to your child. This information will be used for Tournament. Please include any food allergies. e.g. Gluten Free. You must also let the TIC know of any food allergies upon registering for Tournament.
2023 Info: There is an option to purchase a navy blue hoodie, which has the student’s name printed on the back and the school logo and your team on the front. This is optional. These must be ordered via the sports dept. by the end of term 2. No single orders can be taken after this date. Please be aware that hoodies are not allowed to be worn at school as part of our school uniform. This will result in the hoodie being confiscated.
If you would like to set up a fortnightly or monthly automatic payment for tournament week from the beginning of the year to September please e-mail the Sports Dept at sportadmin@kingsway.school.nz
Costs are made up of accommodation fees, equipment, van hire, petrol costs, tournament fee, use of washing facilities, food, drink, NZSSSC levy, teachers relief, staff overnight allowance and any activity planned prior to attending e.g. Swimming/spa for recovery. Students will need to take some pocket money with them for any extras they want during the week.

Please be aware of the following regarding tournament:
- Should any medical expenses be incurred due to accident or injury that are not covered by ACC, these costs will be passed onto the parent of the injured child.
- For tournament, as per 1st senior teams, the coach will play the top team on the day. Players must understand that even if they attend they may not get equal court time.
- All students are expected to travel to the accommodation on Sunday and to & from games in their school tracksuit or school jacket/tracksuit trousers. Not the tournament hoodie or other mufti. Tournament hoodies will be available to order closer to the time. These hoodies are totally optional.
- We would love it if parents are able to come down and support us at the games but ask that they not to come back to accommodation as we have a set programme for the week.
- Tournament costs are sent out to parents in Term 2 and are kept as low as possible. Although we do not expect any further costs to be added please note should there be any between now and the end of tournament we will need to add these to the above costs e.g Breakages at accommodation that need to be paid etc
