We will have full report on how our teams got on in the next Newsletter.
With winter sports well under way, students and parents to the school will be aware that there are many sports and activities that your son/daughter will be able to participate. It is our intention to ensure that as many students as possible take an active part in these co-curricular activities as this will enable them to reap the benefit of the coaching offered by the large number of staff who commit themselves to sport in the school.
Thought for the week
“Don’t focus on the results too much.
If you take care of the processes the result will take care of itself”
Steve Price NZ Warrior
Sport at Whangaparaoa College will continue to grow and develop
This can be achieved through:
• hard work
• positive attitude
• responsibility
• natural talent
• Being a member of a school sports team brings responsibility
Your son/daughter is required to:
• attend meetings promptly
• check school notices
• attend practices on time
• wear the correct playing uniform with pride
• have a responsible and positive attitude
• remain committed to the team they have gained a place in for the entire year
