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.
