Welcome To Our
School Sports Page
Hamilton West provides its students with the chance to play a wide range of physical activities and sports. One of the special things about Hamilton West School is its sports administration. Mrs Sullivan leads the school sports and below you will find the teacher in charge of each of our sports clubs. We are truly lucky to have this support. Hamilton West School has adopted a Flair Play approach to sport. All our coaches and athletes are required to sign Fair Play contracts. We believe in Fair Play and promote this in all our sport teams. |
