Netball is the largest sport at Westlake Girls with 46 teams competing in the 2023 North Harbour and Auckland competitions. Students must register early for netball, before 20 February, because Junior trials begin on Sunday 25 February (see trial dates below). Played in Term 2 and 3, the competition begins with 4 weeks of grading games for everyone except the Premier 1 team who play at Auckland Netball Centre. All other teams play at Harbour Netball Centre in Northcote Road. The Year 9 teams play on Mondays after school between 4pm – 7pm while Year 10-13 play on Saturday mornings. We are extremely fortunate to have many supportive parents who act as team managers and numerous students who assist by coaching younger teams.

Netball trials are very challenging to the large number of students interested in playing so register early and arrive at all trials at least 15 mins prior to sign in. Ensure that your trial number is already written on you before you play. If students have a clash with Summer Sport sports then please notify April Ieremia at [email protected] to discuss.

Please ensure you wear the correct footwear and P.E uniform. After the trial, you will be notified about what will happen to your group next. There are at least two trial dates for all groups: Year 9, Year 10, Senior and SOT or Self-Organised teams which are only available for Senior students. They grade at the end of March to determine ranking like other teams.

Once all trials are finalised team lists, students will be notified and lists will then be posted on the noticeboard at the Sports Department at the end of Term 1.

NB: Grading Games for all teams will be held at lunchtimes. Teams will be notified when needed.

REFUND POLICY:

In the unlikely event a school trip is cancelled either by the school, a third party, or through extenuating circumstances, WGHS will endeavour to seek a refund of any deposit or full payment paid to an external party (such as flights or accommodation) on behalf of our students. Please note there may be situations where external parties are legally entitled to retain partial or full payment – in the case of a late cancellation, or binding agreement terms, for instance. In these situations, WGHS agrees to recover as much of the cost as practicable, however the school is not liable if a full refund is unattainable.

REGISTRATION
