Level 3 details
Once the Government has announced Auckland will move to Level 3, we will send emails to parents and students outlining what this will entail for our school, based on guidance from the Ministry of Education.
Pasifika Showcase cancelled
We are sad to announce our Pasifika Showcase planned for late September has unfortunately had to be cancelled. We want to mention the outstanding work of the Committee organising the event, led by Jonine Tiakia, Tausala Puavlao Tanimo and Alailupe Taufateau. These students put a lot of time and effort into planning the showcase, which was to be the first of its kind at Westlake Girls in our new Event Centre. Well done to Jonine, Tausala and Alailupe for your hard work and organisation – we are disappointed for you that your efforts won’t come to fruition this year.
