During the 4 days across 28 April to 1 May, our Premier Girls Waterpolo team competed in Auckland to win the plate division of the National NZ Championship Waterpolo competition. Having recently won the same title in the North Island Champs, it was a fantastic back-to-back win, this time also facing teams from the South Island as part of the wider national competition.
It was a well-deserved win as well. Having missed out on making the championship rounds by only one point, disappointment was quickly replaced by a conviction to show everyone the hard work and effort they have put in all season could pay off. With a total of 4 wins in the last round and a final game against Western Springs College in which our girls won 8-4, they should all be incredibly proud of how they played and represented the school.
Special mention to our Year 13 girls who have represented the school strongly in Waterpolo for five years, as this was their last competition in the Westlake caps, it was quite an emotional end of an era. A big thank you as well to our Coach Paul Swindells, Teacher in Charge Kahlia Hawkins and Manager Sarah Bird.
