Department of Education (DoE)
continued to endorse four high
schools as Specialist Netball Schools.
These schools were Aranmore
Catholic College, Darling Range

All schools were required to meet
specifi c standards and criteria set

demonstrate that they could provide
a program that follows the Netball WA
athlete, coach and umpire pathways
and focuses on the holistic approach
to student development.
Additionally, the Specialist Netball
Schools received servicing from
Netball WA in the areas of athlete,
coach and umpire development and
were expected to establish links to
local clubs and associations and be
affi liated to Netball WA.
