As the current National High School Cheerleading Champions, Westlake Girls has begun its season on a successful note winning Silver and Bronze medals leading up to the 2021 New Zealand Super Nationals in November.
The WGHS Cheer Team, made up of Year 9 students Hayley Le, Madi Gardiner, Tasmin Ginger, Evangeline McHardy, Reese Lim and Brea Hedges, performed superbly in the High School division of Cheersbrandz, Eutopia and Dance Cheer in July, to win silver. A month later, on 14 -15 August, the team produced another electric performance to win bronze at the Olympic Cheer in Auckland.
With eyes on the prize, their next stop is the Spring Carnival, which will be rescheduled from September to October due to Covid-19 lock down in Auckland. However, the ultimate event on every Cheerleader’s calendar is the 2021 New Zealand Super Nationals which is a “Virtual” extravagance that beams in Cheer teams from around New Zealand and Australia and the WGHS team will be doing all they can to retain their High School crown at North Shore Event Centre on 13-14 November.
