Archery is continuing to thrive during 2009 and has attracted plenty of new faces who are wishing to persue this diciplined and competitive sport.

Two pathways are available to the boys this year. 

Those boys who are totally new to Archery and want the convenience of a local venue can sign up for option one.
Shooting takes place at Nicholson Park, Mt Eden, where the boys are coached by an experienced Archer, Brenden Gaffney. The morning training sessions are a mixture of technique development and enjoyable competitive rounds, which take place in a purpose built indoor facility set within the park grounds.
There are inter-school competitions arranged during the various terms which give the boys experience in honing their skills whilst under the added pressure of the tournament!

The second option available utilises links with Auckland Archery Club.

The boys choosing this pathway are mainly experienced Archers requiring greater practice time and more weekend competition. The club is based in the grounds of Cornwall Park, about a ten minute drive from school. Members of the club are experienced and always willing to offer advice on technique.

For those boys requiring it, a four week beginners course has been set up in order to ensure a smooth transition into club level Archery.
