Our amazing Prefect team organised some fantastic events this week to celebrate Purple Power Week.
The initiative, which started at Wellington East Girls’ College, advocates for for the empowerment of women. Our amazing Prefects have embraced it here at Westlake and organised a brilliant line up of events. Wednesday, a room filled with excited students listened to words of wisdom and advice from this incredible line-up of speakers:
Alexia Hilbertidou – CEO and founder of GirlBoss
Hannah McLean – Olympic Swimmer
Lisa King – Founder and CEO of Eat My Lunch
Dellwyn Stuart – CEO of YWCA and Founder of Women’s Fund NZ
Pippa Wetzell – Fair Go Presenter
Well done to Deputy Head Prefect Charis Allison (and the Prefect team) who championed this event and organised the speakers. As a side note, Mr Paul Davis had a mini reunion with Pippa, who was in his chemistry class a few (but who’s counting) years ago!
On Thursday, students made vision boards, and on Friday there was a special “Purple” edition of Friday Lunch Live with a gold-coin donation for wearing mufti.
