Each student is representing themselves, Waimea College and their family. Sportsmanship must be always shown, both on and off the field. Foul or dangerous play, retaliation, swearing or aggressive language, arguing with referees/officials, or reacting to spectators is not tolerated. At Waimea College we are committed to every athlete, parent/caregiver, official, manager, and coach working towards our sports mantra of “inspiring connections and wellbeing for all” through honour, integrity, fairness and fun.
