2022 has been a busy year for Kuranui College sport and though term one was slowed slightly with Covid competitions and achievements ramped up for the remainder of the year.

We are grateful to our coaches, managers, umpires, van drivers, sponsors and funders for the support they provide our rangatahi in achieving the best they can be in sport and recreation.

During the year students participated in basketball, netball, tennis, cricket, rugby, hockey, football, volleyball, touch rugby, smallbore, gliding, aviation, futsal, claybird shooting, badminton, 3×3 Basketball, e-sport, golf, Muay Thai, wrestling, swimming, athletics, mountain biking, archery, chess, cross country, tenpin bowling, and squash.
