We are absolutely delighted to celebrate a remarkable milestone for a very special member of our staff. This year marks Moira Clarke’s 30th year of outstanding service at Westlake Girls High School!
Currently our Events Centre Manager, Moira expertly manages the bookings and events that bring our fantastic performance space to life for both our school and the wider community.
Moira first joined the Westlake whānau back in 1996 as the Music Department Administrator. Over the past three decades, she has been the backbone of the department, working alongside three Heads of Department: Elise Bradley, Rowan Johnston, and our current HOD, Fiona Wilson.
Moira’s dedication to championing girls’ educational opportunities and her unwavering support of musical excellence have been instrumental in developing Westlake Music into one of New Zealand’s highest-performing music communities.
Among her many highlights are the multiple international music tours she single-handedly organised and managed—a significant achievement, especially considering her early tours were planned in the days before the internet!
To honor this incredible milestone, we recently hosted a special High Tea. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with past and present Westlake staff, as well as Moira’s family, all gathering to celebrate her immense contribution and lasting legacy.
Thank you, Moira, for 30 years of passion, dedication, and heart. Westlake Music wouldn’t be the same without you!
