Registering
We ask parents to please register their own children online. The very high number of children we have involved from OPS means that this is not something we can manage as a school.
You can register for the OPS school team online now.
Enter with our school group - To enter the TRYathlon visit www.tryathlon.co.nz/ - select South Auckland event ‘YES – Join my School Group’ and enter “Onehunga Primary’ to join.
TRYathletes need to have an adult supervising them on the day.

Managing a group on the day of the event
This year we will again be requesting one adult (parent or family member) to manage each group on the day to ensure all groups are ready for their events on time! We will also need whānau support to make sure we meet Health and Safety ratios. We will have school gazebos set up on the day. Please indicate on this form if you can support.
Training at school
We will have training sessions at school to help prepare everyone for the
TRYathlon, including swim, bike and run transitions. This training is for children who are committing to taking part in the TRYathlon. Taking part in training is optional.
If you are able to help with Thursday after school training at school leading up to the event, please indicate it in this form
Training will start straight after school for approximately 30-35 minutes. Meet by the seat on the field. If it’s wet, meet on the covered deck outside Room 20.
Only children who have completed this form, or have an adult whānau member with them will be able to take part.
