As one of the targeted sports at Westlake Girls, the school is committed to supporting Touch Rugby’s performance pathway to develop talented and resilient players for the future. Westlake Girls has a proud history in Touch Rugby, with 3 podium finishes at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Touch Rugby Championships over the years. Its best finish being 2nd in 2020. This year the Premier team finished 5th in Rotorua after a feisty play-off against St Kents.
The Senior touch rugby season is played in Term 1 with the Junior competition featuring in Term 4.
