At Hutt Valley High School, sport provides an inclusive environment where every student can participate and excel. Our goal is to make involvement in sport a fun, challenging, and rewarding experience that creates lasting school memories.
We recognise participation is an essential part of both physical and personal development. Regular exercise fosters well-being, supports healthy bodies, and enhances intellectual performance. A wide range of sports is offered to suit all levels of ability. Students can choose to participate socially or competitively, and we encourage everyone to get involved.
The Sports Office manages all major sporting codes, whole-school events, school exchanges, and representative tournaments. The Sports Office is located by the Main Gym.

Other Sporting Codes
The following sports may be available in 2026 depending on student interest, and staff and/or parent support and availability of coaching: rock climbing, rowing, sailing, skateboarding and snow sports. If a student is interested in any other sport, please let the Sports Office know.
HVHS Sports Levy
In addition to individual registration fees for each sport, students are required to pay an annual $35 Sports Levy. This levy contributes to the administrative costs of organising more than 25 sporting codes at our kura. The fee is charged only once per year, regardless of how many sports a student registers for. The levy is compulsory and non-refundable. For information on payment options at HVHS please click here.
Social (Choice) Team Registration Form
Once all student members of a social team have registered for their chosen sport using the individual registration forms in the section above, they can then complete the Social Team Registration Form.
Students who wish to create their own social (choice) team need to complete the Social Team Registration Form below and email it to the Sports Office at sport@hvhs.school.nz.
