Our Sports Staff
The Sports Department consists of a passionate team of five PE staff, including the Sports Co-ordinator, as well as a invaluable network of teachers, parents, students and community coaches.
Where you can find us!
We are in F Block, which is the office block beside the recreation centre and car park....just look for our giant sports field and you've found us. Come and see us any time!
We've put some photos beside our teaching and support staff so you know a little bit about us - as well as what we look like which is helpful if you're just starting out at Waiheke High School.
Shelley Foster is our Sports Co-ordinator. She puts together teams for College Sport and Central Zone sports - be it one day tournaments or winter and summer sport leagues. She also creates each term's sports timetable for activities before, during and after school.
Shelley is passionate at sport, and has a strong background in netball, touch, rippa rugby and athletics along with many other sports! She coaches many of our teams and runs lunchtime and after school practices and tournaments on top of her administrative role.
Rebecca Cunningham-Rose is our Head of Faculty. She takes our girls football teams, running, swimming (pool and ocean swimming) and mountain biking. Rebecca also runs crossfit and weights sessions.
Tony Wood is our Head of Outdoor Education. He also works with our touch rugby and rippa teams and focuses on fitness and games strategy.
Bill Godbout is our senior Dean and specialises in volleyball. He runs volleyball training every morning of the week before school.
Johnny Keevill is a junior Dean. He works with our rugby teams, and heads up our Waka Ama training sessions in Term 1 and Term 4.
Gareth Moore works with our sailing team, as well our sea sports students every week.

waiheke community support
If we have school sports teams, we always need more than just the students! These teams need managers, parent assistance or coaches so please do be a part of your child's sport in a way that simply makes it more seamless, fun and enjoyable for all. Just let one of our staff know that you can help out - we love those types of 'phone calls or emails!
Sometimes we aren't able to offer certain sports at the Waiheke High School because we don't have either the staff power or the necessary expertise.
This is where you can come in: if you love a sport that you'd like to share with our students, please do drop our sports co-ordinator, Nicky, an email or give her a call. We will always endeavour to make room in the sports timetable for something new, and assist with equipment and help wherever we can.
With this in mind, we always are on the look out for basketball, Futsal and netball coaches....please do make contact if you can help.
