Auckland Girls' Grammar School has an outstanding sporting reputation spread throughout a variety of individual and team sports. We aim to promote participation and provide the opportunity for all AGGS girls to gain a positive experience from sport. Through sport we encourage the development of discipline, commitment, positive attitudes, skill acquisition and taking responsibility as a contributing member of a team. All students are encouraged to participate in at least one sport throughout the school year. 

The Sports Department consists of three staff members: Sports Director Christo Peters, Sports Co-ordinator Fiona Reid and Netball Co-ordinator Vienna James. Throughout the year we are supported by an invaluable group of students, parents, coaches and teachers who collectively make sport at AGGS what it is today. 

Throughout the year there are many whole school events that the Sports Department are responsible for. The AGGS Athletics Day at Mt Smart Stadium is one such event which includes all Yr9 and Yr10 students and is open to all other years. Each year this is a wonderful day of track and field with 800+ competitors. The AGGS Swimming Sports and AGGS Cross Country are also events that come under the sports umbrella with the Cross Country again compulsory for Yr9 and Yr10 students. For details on this year's events please go to 'Whole School Events'. As all these events take place in Term 1 it's a busy start to the year for sports. Throughout the rest of the year the other events hosted by Sport include interclass competitions, Lip Sync which is a hugely popular evening of entertainment featuring dancing and miming acts from the students and Nationals Trips for various sporting codes throughout the country throughout the year.

The sports offered at AGGS are constantly evolving and include well established sports such as Netball, Rugby, Softball and Football as well as relatively specialist sports such as Diving, Equestrian and Petanque. Wherever possible if students are interested in a sport, we endeavour to bring that sport to the school. For a full detailed description of all sports at AGGS please see 'Summer Sports' or 'Winter Sports' depending on the specific time of year that sport is played.

AGGS reputation of producing elite athletes and High Performance teams is something we pride ourselves on. In recent years this includes our Premier Netball team placing 2nd at the New Zealand National Netball Tournament in 2010 and our Premier Basketball team placing 3rd at the New Zealand National Basketball Tournament in 2010. Individual sporting merits vary every year with many students representing at regional, national and international levels in each year group. We constantly focus on supporting these athletes in whatever capacity we can.

The sporting facilities within AGGS are constantly in use throughout the year, often there are so many teams training that surrounding facilities for specific sports are also needed to keep up with demand.
