Basketball is one of our strongest and most popular codes at Pakuranga College. The program boasts over 200 student athletes. The Premier Boys’ and Girls’ teams play in the Senior A Premier competition.
Recent success has seen the Premier Boys and Girls travel and compete in the USA in 2019, with the boys team being crowned champions of the Cabrillo Winter Classic Tournament in Long Beach, California. Our Premier Girls were also winners of the NZSS Nothern Cup Championship in 2017 and 2018.
