Everyone is welcome to learn diabolo—a performance sport that looks like a giant yo‑yo in motion.

Playing with the diabolo engages the whole body, improves hand‑eye coordination, and is both a fun activity and a traditional performing art with deep cultural roots.

At Rangitoto College, the Diabolo Club invites students to explore this unique art form while connecting with Chinese culture. Members learn popular tricks such as the Double Diabolo, the Ice Cream, and the renowned Vertax Genocide, developing both skill and creativity along the way.

Beyond mastering tricks, the club helps students build leadership and teamwork skills. A highlight of the year is performing at Chinese Night, where members showcase their talents and create an unforgettable spectacle for the wider community.

Whether you’re a beginner or already experienced, the Diabolo Club is your chance to learn, perform, and be part of something exciting. Join us and discover the energy, culture, and artistry of diabolo.
