Process for unwell students leaving school

Please remember that if your daughter becomes unwell at school, she must visit the nurse in order to be released from school. She shouldn’t be ringing you directly to be collected. The nurse will contact you, and your daughter will need to sign out at reception upon your arrival. We appreciate your assistance with this as we have had a run of students calling their parents and signing themselves out.

Board Elections

If you are interested in nominating yourself to join our Board at the 2022 elections, you are warmly invited to our next meeting on Thursday 7 July at 6pm in the Conference Room, Gernhoefer Admin Centre, WGHS. You can find out more information on our website HERE.

Pasifika Fono

If you haven’t RSVPed for our Pasifika Fono on Tuesday, you still have time! We’d love for you to join us for this very special evening. This is an opportunity to meet the Pasifika Mentors and understand a little more about how they help your daughter with school life, academia and scholarship opportunities for Year 13 students.

For more information or to register, please email April Ieremia at [email protected]

School holidays

Please note that our school office will be shut during the school holidays, from Monday 11 to Friday 22 July inclusive. If you need to get hold of someone at the school during the holidays, please email [email protected] but please note their could be a delay in response.

Clothes Swap

There is a clothes swap happening at WGHS in Term 3, organised by our awesome Enviro Prefects. We are needing clothes! If you’ve got anything in your wardrobe that you no longer wear, please give it to your daughter to bring in for the swap. For every item you donate, your daughter will be able to choose something new for you. If you trust her enough to choose your clothes, we’d love you to be a part of this. Any clothes that don’t find a loving new home at the end of the swap will be donated to charity.
