AIMS Games

The Zespri AIMS Games have established themselves as the elite sporting competition for emerging adolescents in New Zealand.

This is an opportunity to compete on a national stage for our top sporting students and our focus at PNINS is to excel in this environment. PNINS has consistently sent a team for a number of years and intends to do so again in September 2024. 

In 2023, the PNINS team brought home 21 medals, an amazing achievement. 35 students travelled to the games. These 35 students were made up of a mixture of individuals and teams with the goal of maximising success at the games. 

The sports that our 2023 AIMS Squad competed in were Rip Rugby , Hockey (6-a-side competition), Badminton, Rock Climbing, Gymnastics, Swimming and Cross Country.
