New Centre embraces Dio’s commitment to “healthy body, healthy mind” philosophy
The Sports Education Centre, designed by Hamilton Architects, Antanas Procuta, is due to be opened officially on 21st February 2012 . The centre will provide a valuable new teaching and community facility for the school.
The Centre is located between our sports field and natural gully edge. It is two-storied, with the ground level accommodating the new fitness centre with associated change room, and offices. The fitness centre will be the home of "Dio-Fit" our new fitness club which will be open for use at the start of term1 2012.
DIO FIT CLUB
During the school day, curriculum PE classes will have priority for use of the fitness centre. After school, sports teams have priority for use of equipment they may require for a team session.
MEMBERSHIP OF DIO-FIT
Individual membership will be open to all current Waikato Diocesan students and staff as well as Dio old girls who are tertiary student or U23yrs.
Any student, staff member or old girls wanting to use the Fitness Centre as an individual outside of class or team practice time will need to become a member of Dio-Fit Club. Membership involves completing an application form (available from the sports centre and school shop) and then purchasing a Fit pass from the school shop. The Fit pass will be a specific colour for each year and will have the member’s photo and DOB. The cost of a pass for 2012 will be Adult/Old Girls $160, Students $120. This is an annual fee and can be pro-rated by time of issue. All passes issued in Term 1 will be for the entire year and cost the full amount. Passes issued in Term 2 will cost 75%, issued in Term 3 50% and issued in Term 4 25%. No passes will be issued for less than the total remaining time of the year. Passes remain the property of the school and must be surrendered upon request. When using the Fitness Centre your Fit pass must be placed on the member’s board at the entrance. Before using the fitness centre members will be required to attend an Induction Training session with the fitness supervisor.
