Archery
Archery is a well established sport at St Peters’ College starting in the 1990’s. In 2011 the sport was developed
further with the addition of our own successful programmes. We have over 30 archers shooting at the Archery Range
located outside the gym on Friday afternoons. The archers participate in Inter-school postal shoots, SPC Achievement
rounds as well as hosting our own SPC Invitational Archery Competition at AAC with a number of secondary schools
from Auckland attending.
You can start archery from year 7 -13, at any time of the year. If you are interested please come to a Friday shoot to
observe, parents and students are most welcome. Or contact the manager for an info pack, we would love to hear
from you.
Year 7-13: Before you can start shooting at SPC you need to attend an Archery Novice course and enrol at your local archery club.
You are then ready to join the squad!
Please contact the Manager for when the next novice course will be held or follow the links below to the Auckland Archery
Club or Mountain Green Archery Club to enrol directly with them.
