2023 WGHS Rugby
We have a very successful girls rugby programme here at Westlake Girls HIgh School. Our teams compete in the North Harbour competition playing on Monday or Tuesday (dependent on grade). Our 2022 Premier rugby team won the North Harbour competition and went through to compete in the NZSS 1st XV Blue Cup final. Our Premier 7’s team won the North Harbour Qualifiers tournament and headed to Condor Nationals in December last year.
