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, Shelley, 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.
If you are interested in being apart of a sport at WHS, weather it be a coach, manager or parent helper please contact Shelley as we are always on the look our for help with our sports teams.
