All students are strongly encouraged to take part in sport and cultural activities. There are opportunities for the pursuit of excellence in these activities as well as opportunities for fun and social interaction. Most sports codes and cultural groups hold trials or auditions and in some areas, places are limited. In some sports this is purely a safety system to ensure girls play in the correct grade

SPORTING LIFE 

Participation in sport at WGC is outstanding and we are proud of both the participation rates – over 60% of students play sport for the College – and the success that we have at both a national and local level. We offer an extensive range of sports:

• Athletics • Badminton • Basketball • Cricket • Cross-country • Dragon Boat racing •Equestrian • Futsal • Football • Handball • Hockey • Ki o Rahi • Lacrosse • Lawn Bowls • Netball • Rowing • Rugby  • Swimming • Tennis • Triathlon • Touch • Underwater Hockey • Volleyball • Waka ama • Waterpolo

The availability of all codes is dependent on the support of our parent and wider community. We try our best to place everyone in teams but that is dependent on numbers and sometimes the ability of students to play in a range of positions.
