Kia ora Westlake whānau,
Service to others is a really strong focus for Westlake, and we have had a wonderful display of it lately, with bake sales and a House Charity Fundraiser on Tuesday, where students swapped their uniforms for House colours in a great display of school pride and generosity. It’s always inspiring to see our students getting behind causes that matter and raising funds for their chosen House charities.
Meanwhile, many students have also been busy with our annual Music and Production Camps.
Students and staff from Social Sciences, (bound for Vietnam), and Art, (heading to the USA), are eagerly anticipating their end-of-term adventures—immersing themselves in new cultures, experiences, and learning opportunities.
Our Tertiary Evening was a great success, giving students and families valuable insights into study options after Westlake.
On the sports front, last weekend saw our sailors excelling at the National Schools Keelboat Championship in Westhaven while our equestrians took on the Pegasus Equestrian Cup in Cambridge. This week, the Athletics Zones took place on Tuesday and Thursday at Mt Smart Stadium with many impressive results, and next week is Summer Tournament Week, which is also always a very exciting week.
I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Ngā mihi,
Jane Stanley
Principal
