Smart Swans
Smart Swans is our peer-tutoring system at Westlake. We have student tutors for all subjects, including Music and Technology. If you feel your daughter could benefit from one-on-one assistance, she can sign up in her Year Level Google Classroom.
Upcoming Events
A reminder that we have our Year 11 NCEA Information Evening next Tuesday, 16 March, and our Year 9 New Parent Information Evening the following night – Wednesday 17 March. Both are in Gym 3 at 6.30pm.
Our Whānau Evening for Māori parents and caregivers is on Thursday 18 March. If you are part of our Māori whānau, you should have received an email from us. If not, and you would like to attend, please email Rik Wilson: [email protected]. We’d love to see you there.
We will have a new date for our Pasifika Fono shortly.
Blazer needed for ID and Class Photos
ID and Class Photos will be taken next Tuesday and Wednesday. Your daughter will have been told which day her class photo is being taken, and it’s important she has her blazer with her on that day.
Bus information
Auckland Transport offers discounted fares to secondary school students aged 16 to 1 years. This year there is an updated process for students age 16+ to get the student discount loaded on their AT HOP cards.
There are two ways of applying for a secondary student concession – online or by visiting one of AT’s customer service centres. HOP cards must be registered before a concession is applied for. For full details, visit AT’s website.
