Hockey
One of the many sporting codes actively fostered at Malfroy School is hockey. We have our own Astroturf area at school and there’s a keen interest in hockey at our school. We have past and present students in Bay of Plenty representative teams and our teams continue to do well in our local primary school competition. There are both Maxi and Mini teams and all teams play in the local Saturday competition. The hockey season commences early in Term 2 and concludes at the end of Term 3. Children can commence playing for a Malfroy School team from 5 years of age.
