​At WHS extracurricular activities form an important part of the educational experience of our students. We have an ambitious goal of having 100% of Year 9 and new students involved in some form of extracurricular activity each year.  It helps our students to build connections, a sense of whanaungatanga and belonging.

Each activity has a Teacher in Charge (TIC) who is the main point of contact for the club.
