Swimming Pool: We are fortunate to have a 25m swimming pool on site that is used daily during Terms 1 and 4. It is equipped with 2 large changing sheds, covered seating and storage facilities.

Tui Riffic Bands
There are four coloured silicon wrist bands that all students have an opportunity of being presented with. Green – Sports & The Arts, Blue – Academic, Yellow – School Values.
Once a band has been achieved students begin to strive towards achieving another band. Students can receive more than one band in each colour.
Each band has ‘MATANGI TUI RIFFIC STUDENT’ debossed into it.
These bands are designed to give the students constant reminders of the importance to do the best they can while learning at Matangi School.
