Sporting Success
Winmalee High School has a strong sporting culture that has resulted in success in a number of sports. Typically dominant amongst local High Schools, Winmalee has been represented strongly at State CHS level in Athletics, Basketball, Cross Country, Netball and a number of other sports.
In the late 1990s - early 2000s Winmalee High School achieved remarkable success in both Men's Basketball and Netball.
In 2002 the Winmalee Worms Men's Netball team won the State Netball Title.
Winmalee High School has also enjoyed a great deal of success in boys' and girls' water polo over the years. This success continued in 2011 with the boy’s open team winning the Sydney West Championship again at Open and U15 level. The school also provided 40% of the squad members of the Sydney West Representative side who competed in the State Open Championship in Alstonville in November 2011.
In 2012 the school again won the Sydney West Championship at both U15 and Open level. The open team reached the quarter finals of the State Finals but had to withdraw from the U15's State Championship due to a clash with another school event. The school provided 2 of the starting line up for the Sydney West Representative side who competed in the State Open Championship in Albury in November 2012. Both of these players were subsequently selected for the Combined High Schools squad who will compete against the other States in early 2013.

Famous quotes containing the words sporting and/or success:
“The Boston papers had never told me that there were seals in the harbor. I had always associated these with the Esquimaux and other outlandish people. Yet from the parlor windows all along the coast you may see families of them sporting on the flats. They were as strange to me as the merman would be. Ladies who never walk in the woods, sail over the sea. To go to sea! Why, it is to have the experience of Noah,—to realize the deluge. Every vessel is an ark.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
