I am very happy to welcome Sam Coyle to our staff. Sam is a newly qualified teacher and worked at Torbay School for a short time at the end of last year. Sam will fill the role of Physical Education Specialist and Sports Coordinator. He has already assisted in getting Basketball and Waterpolo underway this year and we look forward to impact he as on Sport at Torbay.
Sam brings a broad range of experience to Torbay School and has already proven himself to be a perceptive capable young teacher. I wish him well for his future career and know that he will have your support in delivering quality sports and PE opportunities to our children.

Kia ora,
My name is Sam Coyle and I am the new Physical Education Teacher and Sports Coordinator here at Torbay School. I am a recent graduate from AUT and I couldn’t be more excited to start my teaching journey here. I am passionate about building strong relationships with my students in order to provide the best learning experiences possible and helping everyone realise their full potential. I have a strong passion for sports, in particular football, futsal, and basketball. I have even coached children, men, and women in futsal at a national level. I look forward to working with all students in PE and giving them the best sporting opportunities this year!
Basketball and Splash Polo are underway and off to a great start this term despite a few hiccups from COVID. Unfortunately basketball games are currently on hold but will hopefully be back next week. In the meantime it has been great to see so many teams keeping up their training on the courts afterschool. It has also been great seeing so many children in the pool this term playing splash polo.
