Sporting Achievements

During the course of the year there are a number of occasions where the school recognises and applauds the sporting achievements of its students. This applies equally to ALL sporting codes. The Sports and PE departments generally hear of such successes but there are some girls who reach representative status outside of the school's domain, particularly in minor codes, which we don't know about. We need you to tell us about achievements.

If you know of a WGC student who has been chosen in a regional or national squad or team, who has broken a record or achieved similar sporting success in any sports code, please let us know. We want to acknowledge our students' successes.
