Canoe Polo

Canoe Polo at St. John’s

Canoe polo has a rich history of development and success at St. John’s College. The programme is overseen by Mr Pearson who has coached NZ teams on the world stage. The programme focuses upon developing sound fundamental skills which are performed under pressure with speed and accuracy.

In recent times both the junior and senior teams have had success at a Regional and National level. Teams compete in the championships during Term 1 and play winter league in Term 3 to develop skills and combinations.

Canoe polo also is part of the SJC Institutes programme and many of these students have gone on to represent Hawke’s Bay and New Zealand.
