In mid-August, Westlake Girls and North Harbour Rotary held a very successful BBQ at Bunnings in Wairau Valley.
Our Westlake students joined the community-minded team of Rotarians, led by Jerry Norman and Nickie Miles, to cook up a feast of sausages for Bunnings customers as they passed by.
The Sausage Sizzle is yet another Rotary fundraising event, held throughout the year to support local community charities and individuals struggling with the cost-of-living.
Our girls continually support North Harbour Rotary by donating their time, holding can drives, winter clothing appeals, and environmental initiatives, as well as refilling the sanitary products in every bathroom across our school.
The BBQ was generously supported by Bunnings customers who told our girls to “keep the change” and by donating despite not wanting a sausage so early in the morning. Everyone worked tirelessly, and their effort was rewarded by the highest amount collected at a BBQ yet!
Many thanks to North Harbour Rotary for their continued support of the various initiatives at our school and to Bunnings for the BBQ and space.
Congratulations and thanks to Kayla Gallagher, Ishika Kumar, Chloie Pana, Maegan de Leon, Jessie Qian, Zara Gillard, Kalina Angelova, Irene Hanna, and Sivani Kalamraju. You all did fantastically well!
