Senior School High Performance Opportunities
Westminster is proud to offer a range of High Performance programs designed to challenge and support our student athletes, performers, and leaders. These opportunities extend well beyond the classroom, helping students build resilience, skills, and a strong sense of teamwork.
Please note: all programs are optional, unless otherwise stated. Students are encouraged to try sessions in the first one or two weeks to see if they find them beneficial. After this trial period, we expect consistent attendance through to the end of term.
