Sport is a big part of the culture at Tauranga Intermediate School, and we encourage all students to be involved in a sport to develop healthy habits and make new connections. Opportunities range from social participation through to top-level competition, with the Zespri AIMS GAMES in September being the pinnacle of our sporting calendar.

We are very fortunate to have outstanding sporting facilities at our school. Our TECT Gym features an indoor netball court, a basketball court, 5 badminton courts, kiwi volleyball and full size volleyball courts, a squash court, a rock climbing and bouldering wall. The turf has 4 tennis courts/4 netball courts, also hockey and football field markings.

We also welcome back our sports team this year. Mr Lee Vaughan, our enthusiastic Head of Sport; Maka Daysh, our Sports Assistant, who brings her passion and expertise, particularly in basketball and who also runs our very popular Year 8 Sports Academy class; and Mrs Hampton, who brings over 20 years of experience at TIS to the team. We are also supported by many dedicated staff who volunteer their time across various codes, as well as a supportive parent and whānau community.
