We are delighted to announce that from 2020 Onehunga High School will have Junior Emerging Talent Squads (J.E.T.S.).

We want to identify and work with our high performing students who have the potential to become elite competitors through their high school years and beyond.

Initially focussed on Year 9 and 10 students, who participate in Football, Rugby and Basketball we envision including Netball and Volleyball in 2021.

In addition to providing regular coaching and fitness programmes, students will attend theory sessions on:

• Performance Development
• Team Culture and Leadership
• Injury Prevention
• Sports Psychology
• Goal Setting
• Nutrition
• Well-being

J.E.T.S. aim is to develop the skills, discipline, knowledge and attitudes needed to succeed in all competitions. Students in this programme will be pushed to be fitter, better prepared and disciplined in their health and physical fitness, to perform at their best.

Current Year 8 students who will attend OHS in 2020 should register their interest in a J.E.T.S. through the online school enrolment process.

Current Year 9 students, should register their interest with the Director of Sport, Mr Coombes.
