Western Heights Specialist Sports Programs
There is a competitive selection process for enrolment into one of the four Specialist Sports Programs at Western Heights College.
Demand for WHC places is exceptionally high, and student-athletes are selected on the basis not only of existing talent but also their potential for development in high-performance sport as well as the suitability for the balance between sport and academic performance, effort and behaviour.
Enrolments for 2023 in all four specialist sports programs are now closed.
We welcome prospective students for 2024 to our Information evening in our Specialist Sports & High-Performance Building on May 3rd 6 - 8 pm.
Information regarding our Specialist Sports Programs; program outline, selection criteria, fees etc., can be found in the WHC 2023 Curriculum Handbook: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vF98dC5lW615UoNrA1lS6v7iM6K0zuZA/view
