Meeting times or event scheduled dates:
There are usually two events each term and only one in term four, calendar dates are advised closer to each event via the Daily Notices.
Location:
Event locations vary across the North Shore. Students are required to organise their own transport to and from events.
The Special Olympics is an ongoing event throughout the year where Rangitoto College athletes take part in a variety of Ribbon Day sports across the North Shore.
Unlike the Paralympics, the Special Olympics provides opportunities for students with medical or learning difficulties to participate in sports that may otherwise be outside their reach in a mainstream setting. It’s about inclusion, celebration, and the joy of sport.
Senior students play a vital role by:
Sports include athletics, football, basketball, tenpin bowling, and swimming—so there’s always something exciting happening.
Participating in this counts towards the service element of the Rangitoto Summit Diploma.
Join the Special Olympics team of supporters—help create unforgettable experiences, celebrate inclusion, and cheer on our Rangitoto athletes as they shine.
Participating in this counts towards the service element of the Rangitoto Summit Diploma.
Students attend at least one event for this to be added.
