Earlier this year, we learned that ex-student Tara Vaughan (Y13, 2021) made one of New Zealand’s top canoe crews. The crew includes Dame Lisa Carrington.

The crew has gone on to perform brilliantly in the World Canoe Champs, which took place in Germany in August. It won gold (the World Title) in the K4 500, becoming the first NZ crew ever to win a K4 World title.

It’s fantastic to see a former Westlake student excelling internationally at this level. Congratulations, Tara!
