Diving

Springboard diving has become a popular sport at AJHS with students attending weekly training sessions throughout the year. The training sessions currently take place during one of our Programme times. Students that can complete the minimum criteria will then have the opportunity to represent AJHS in the Auckland Secondary Schools Diving competition. The AJHS/ASHS Diving team has won the Auckland Secondary Schools Diving Competition for over 10 years in a row now.

Students are preselected for the diving programme but students with experience in gymnastics, dance or trampoline may also be offered the opportunity to be involved.

If you are interested in joining the AJHS diving programme or would like further information please contact Mrs Jo Monkton.
