A huge thank you to Apollo Projects for their ongoing support of Tauranga Girls' College athletes through their generous Sports Grants programme.

Throughout 2026, Apollo Projects has provided funding that is helping our students attend regional and national tournaments across a variety of sports. Their support is making a genuine difference to the lives of our young athletes and their families.

For many students, the costs associated with travel, accommodation, tournament fees, and uniforms can create significant barriers to participation. Thanks to the generosity of Apollo Projects, more of our athletes are able to take up these incredible opportunities, represent Tauranga Girls' College with pride, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

School sport provides so much more than competition. It builds confidence, resilience, teamwork, leadership, and lifelong friendships. The experiences our students gain through tournament participation are invaluable, and support from community partners like Apollo Projects helps make these opportunities accessible to those who may otherwise miss out.

On behalf of our athletes, whฤnau, coaches, and wider school community, thank you, Apollo Projects. We are proud to have you as a valued supporter of Tauranga Girls' College Sport. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿค

Last week, our wonderful Diversity Prefects organized an incredible Pride Week celebration filled with vibrant activities, joy, and a whole lot of colour.
Our school grounds completely came alive as our ฤkonga embraced the spirit of inclusion and pride. Hereโ€™s a look at what went down:

Rainbow Accessory Day: Our ฤkonga brightened up the campus by rocking amazing, colourful accessories on top of their school uniforms! ๐Ÿงฃ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ

Face Painting & Chalk Art: Transforming both faces and footpaths into bright, beautiful masterpieces. ๐ŸŽจโœ๏ธ

Sticker Shop: A massive hit with students grabbing awesome stickers to show their support and pride. ๐ŸŽ’โค๏ธ

A huge shoutout to our Diversity Prefects for putting together such a positive, welcoming, and fun week for everyone. At TGC, we are so proud to be a place where everyone can feel seen, valued, and celebrated for exactly who they are!
