Knockout Sport
Term 1 is a full term of CHS Knockout Competitions for WPGHS. Many schools participate in this competition, which is made up of rounds of competitions. As you win a round you progress to the next and losing teams are eliminated. WPGHS enters quite a few teams in various sports. This year our teams were Volleyball, Netball, Touch Football, Softball, Basketball and Soccer (which will play at the end of term). All our teams demonstrated excellent teamwork and sportsmanship in all sports, as always. All players are to be commended on the way they represented themselves and our school. Also, WPGHS also looked fabulous in their new jerseys, which were kindly purchased by the school with permission from Mr Stiegler-Peters last year.
Open Girls Basketball Knockout
This year the Open Girls Basketball team made it to the second round by defeating Canterbury Girls High School in the first round 48-5. Kura Talauta was our highest point scorer in this game with a total of 10 points scored. Unfortunately, in the second round we were defeated by Newtown High School of the Performing Arts. Our team was pleased with their efforts in both matches, the players exceeded their own expectations and beat their previous personal bests. Alissa A. scored an exciting 3 pointer and was also our highest point scorer for the game. Thank you to Tumara Latu and Christine Tuapou for their excellent scorekeeping skills. Everyone put in a 110% effort. Well done!
