Sports Prospectus 2019

                               Philosophy
At Takapuna Normal Intermediate we believe that sport is about the journey, not
the destination. Good sport is about positive attitude. We will always aim to do our best,
play fair and respect ourselves and others.

With students of this age we walk a tightrope between their ever-increasing desire and
pressure to win, and the importance of creating and maintaining an experience where
students look forward to continuing an active lifestyle at secondary school and beyond.

The feelings of winning and losing will be temporary, but the lessons learned in sport
can be used for a lifetime.

As administrators of sport, we know that we will inevitably have to make difficult decisions
around player selection and placement. Our community can be assured that decisions will
be made with these principles at heart.
