Tuesday 2 February was a big day for our new Year 10-13 students as they joined us for the first time at Westlake Girls. They were welcomed into school by our Year 13 Prefect and Tuakana students, led by Matua Eddie Hudson. Principal Jane Stanley addressed the group of more than 40 students, and introduced them to our Senior Leadership Team.
Then 2021 Head Prefect Grace Chen gave a brilliant first official speech of the year. The group was divided into Houses and escorted over to their rooms to join their new Form Classes.
The following day, Wednesday 3 February, our new Year 9 students were welcomed into the whānau. After being led into the gym, introductory speeches were made, and then the students were called into their various Form Classes to begin their Westlake journey.
