Extra Curricular

At Russell Street School, we believe learning extends far beyond the classroom.

Through our wide range of extra-curricular opportunities across sports, the arts, cultural experiences, and academic pursuits, we bring our vision of ‘enrich’ to life. These opportunities give students meaningful ways to grow, discover their passions, and find what makes them shine. Whether it’s on the sports’ field, on stage, Kapa Haka, or engaging in academic challenges, our tamariki are encouraged to step forward and give things a go.

These experiences are grounded in our values. Rekareka reminds us to have fun and find joy in participation, kotahitanga highlights the power of working together as a team, and panekiretanga inspires our students to strive for excellence in whatever they pursue. Together, these values ensure every learner is supported to build confidence, develop skills, and be enriched through opportunities beyond the classroom.
