ANZAC Day
See the video below to take a look into what ANZAC Day involves for Vanguard Military School.

Vanguard Military School takes great pride in marching in the Browns Bay ANZAC Day Parade every year. This is often the first opportunity of the year for students to demonstrate the Vanguard values to their families, friends and the community. Every year the students have performed with excellence and made everyone around them immensely proud. This is a tradition Vanguard will uphold for many years to come.You must install Adobe Flash to view this content.

Challenge Cup

Every year Vanguard Military School holds a daylong Challenge Cup competition. This involves every section in the school battling it out in physical, mental, food and academic challenges. Each year the students finish this event wet, muddy and exhausted but with nothing but pride in themselves and their sections for the limits they’ve pushed themselves to.
School Camp
In 2015 Vanguard held its first school camp in Matakana for three days. The camp included early morning starts, grueling tramps, physical training sessions and assessments. The camp was very well run and the students were impeccably behaved. Vanguard looks forward to hosting more camps for our students!

At the start of each year all of our students are put into sections named after New Zealand Victoria Cross recipients. Throughout the course of the year the sections compete against each other for points, ending in a section winning the Intersection Competition Trophy at the end-of-year graduation ceremony. The students compete for points which can be awarded for academic achievement, attendance, good behaviour and in a different challenge every Friday afternoon.Sports Teams
Vanguard has also had students compete in various other sports teams including East Coast Bays women’s rugby, cross country events, North Harbour Representatives for women’s rugby 7’s, marathon swims and various other sports throughout the year.
