Student Team Selection for Upcoming Festival
Due to a limited number of teams allowed per school, students will be selected and placed into teams by the school.
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST WITH THE SPORTS OFFICE BY WEDNESDAY 3 SEPTEMBER.
Trials will be held at school to assess students on some of the skill-based activities featured at the festival. The trial date is to be confirmed (TBC).
Each team will consist of 4 students and must include at least one female and/or one male student.
Please note:
Although students are selected by the school, each team will need a team manager (e.g., a parent or guardian) to accompany them on the day of the event.
Students will also need to arrange their own transport to and from the event.
Students who are selected will receive a permission slip, which must be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to the school.
More detailed information about the day will be included on the permission slip.
Postponement
The tournament committee reserves the right to postpone any events if weather conditions are deemed unsafe for play. Heavy rain, thunder storms or strong wind warnings would be considered as possible reasons for postponing the event.
Light rain or intermittent showers would not necessarily affect scheduled events unless play is deemed unsafe. Any postponements will be made at the earliest possible convenience and notification will be sent via the Golf Southland Facebook page from 7.30am on the morning of the event.
Southland 2025 School Gymsports Festival:
The School’s GymSport Festival was created as an event for schools to celebrate gymnastics in all its forms and
to generate interest and enthusiasm about this wonderful multi-discipline sport.
This event provides an opportunity for school children to participate at their own ability level, in an individual
or group-based activity.
Our long-term goal is to provide every school in New Zealand with the opportunity to participate in a GymSport
Festival, thus increasing the visibility of the sport at a grass roots level.

Two teams of eight players, kaioma and taniwha, play on a circular field divided into zones, and score points by touching the pou (boundary markers) and hitting a central tupu, or target.
