Netball Specialist Program

Stars on the Court

At Harrisdale Senior High School, our Netball Specialist Program is open to students from Years 7–12, offering them the opportunity to pursue sporting excellence. Students will gain practical experience in coaching, managing, and umpiring teams throughout organised competitions.

The program is aligned with the core skill framework developed by Netball WA and is designed to meet the standards of the National Curriculum. Harrisdale Senior High School is proud to be recognised as a Tier 2 Netball WA Endorsed School. In partnership with Netball WA:

Community Connection

Our partnership with Southern Districts Netball Association (SDNA) links students with their local community netball community. Through this connection, students can access the Foundation Umpiring Course and gain valuable practical experience by officiating at primary school carnivals, Net Set Go competitions, and spring social events. It also provides a clear pathway to local netball clubs and teams
