Sport has always had a high profile at Rosmini College and many of our Old Boys, as well as some current pupils, are in North Shore and/or National Representative teams. We are also very proud of our students who have gained International status in a range of sports as diverse as Athletics, Cricket, Fencing, Judo, Rowing, Sailing, Shooting and, of course, Rugby. Interestingly enough Rosmini College, which is a fairly young school has produced 5 All Blacks, Blair Larsen, Graham Dowd, Liam Barry, Anthony Boric and Rudi Wulf as well as 3 Black Caps, Martin Snedden, Chris Pringle and Chris Drum. We stress the importance of sport in the all round development of healthy young men, believing it to be as important in their social development as classroom activities are in for their intellectual progress. All boys are encouraged to participate and develop skills in some for of extracurricular sport as well as take part in core Physical Education at all year levels. Although the importance of competition is acknowledged, we are more concerned to encourage enjoyment of sport for its own sake to help promote a lifelong interest that extends beyond our pupil’s school years. Rosmini College prides itself in its tradition of Sportsmanship and fair play and in its ability to foster positive attitudes to exercise and sporting participation amongst its young men.
