There are a wide range of both individual and team sports offered at Wakatipu High School and all students are encouraged to be active and lead a healthy lifestyle as well as participate and contribute towards an extracurricular activity in the school. Sport at WHS is successfully delivered either within school or in partnership with many local clubs in the Wakatipu Basin. These clubs help to cater for secondary school sport by providing coaching, facilities and equipment.
Students compete in a mix of Southland, Central Otago and Otago Secondary School Sport competitions. Each code also has their own representative pathways in either Southland or Otago depending on regional affiliations within the sport. Many of our students and teams compete at South Island and New Zealand Secondary School events and tournaments throughout the year.
WHS is determined to create and provide opportunities for all students who want to participate and compete in sport and physical activity. We provide participation, development and performance pathways so students can engage at their preferred level and reach their potential in their chosen codes.

Exchanges
Wakatipu High School has two winter exchanges on offer, the first with James Hargest High School in Invercargill, and the second with Mount Aspiring College in Wanaka. These exchanges are fiercely competitive and are always close battles to see which school triumphs as the overall winner. The 2021 James Hargest exchange was a 6-6 draw and the Mt Aspiring exchange was unfortunately cancelled due to COVID. |
