2023 WGHS Snowsports

Snowboarding won the Auckland Secondary Schools Snowboarding title for the second year in a row with Harriet Gowing being instrumental once again the team’s medal haul of 11 medals including Harriet Gowing’s four Gold medals. Harriet’s effort on the slope was further rewarded with a finalist nomination at the College Sport Young Sport person of the Year Awards

Each year the Ski and Snowboard teams compete in the Auckland and North Island Secondary Schools Championships and in the past the Westlake Snowsports programme has included a camp at Cardrona Ski Field,  Wanaka during the July school holidays, where the students had the opportunity to train with some of the country’s top coaches in morning sessions before testing what they had learnt in the afternoons.
