As one of the targeted sports at Westlake Girls, the school is committed to supporting touch rugby’s performance pathway to develop talented and resilient players for the future. Westlake Girls has a strong history of Touch Rugby, with three podium finishes at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Touch Rugby Championships over the years. Westlake Girls’ best finish was silver in 2020.

The Senior touch rugby season is played in Term 1 with the Junior competition featuring in Term 4. Unlike other senior summer sports that end after Summer Tournament Week in March, the New Zealand Secondary Schools Touch Rugby Championship is held in December, so the Premiers Trial and Train for the event will also be held during Term 4.
