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 8-13, at any time of the year. If you are interested please come to a Friday shoot to observe, parents and students are most welcome, we would love to hear from you. |
| YEAR 7 ARCHERY | |
| At this stage we are not able to accept year 7 archers. In preparation for starting in year 8 we encourage you to attend a Novice course and enrol at your local archery club to practice. Then you will be ready to join the squad in year 8. Please contact the Manager for when the next novice course will be held. | |
