Sport
Mrs Nicole Hartel is our Head of Sport. She has represented EP and SA in Hockey, plus EP in Cricket. She has also been a provincial umpire.
Westering High School believes that sport plays a vital role in the school curriculum, aiding not only in the physical development of scholars, but it also creates a platform for character development and leadership while having fun and bonding with teammates.
As such, sport is compulsory for all learners at Westering.
Grade 8 and 9 learners are expected to choose one Summer Code sport and 1 Winter Code Sport. Seniors from Grade 10 to Grade 12 can choose either one Summer or Winter Code sport for the year.
