Important Things to Note – 27 May 2022

NCEA Information Evening

On Tuesday 31 May we are holding an evening for Level 1 NCEA students and parents/caregivers to provide you with the knowledge of how NCEA works, and how to get the best possible Certificate from the year. It will be held at 6.30pm in the Event Centre.

This evening was meant to be held in Term 1, however we were unable to proceed due to gathering restrictions.

There is parking available in the two staff carparks. We will be starting promptly so please be in and seated by 6.30pm. It takes about 45 minutes to go through all the key material. One of our Careers staff will speak for about 5 minutes at the end of the presentation. You will get two very useful handouts to take away that summarise the key information. There will be a number of other senior staff with great NCEA knowledge that can answer individual questions at the end of the presentation.  Please bring a pen in case you want to add any extra notes to the handout.

There is no need to RSVP.

Whānau Evening

Nga Rangatira Āpōpō warmly invites you to our first Whānau Evening for 2022.

It will be held on Wednesday 1 June from 5.30 – 7pm, in the Staffroom, Gernhoefer Admin Centre, at Westlake Girls High School.

This event, for students and their whānau, has become one of the initiatives to engage with our wider community and further encourage parent/guardian involvement with your child’s learning. You will be introduced to our Māori Mentoring Programme and have the opportunity to meet our Mentors, as well as hear from some of our students. A light meal will be provided, and there is car parking available onsite.

We hope you can make it to this special evening. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We want to ensure the success of our Māori students.

Please RSVP to Rik Wilson, Head of Māori mentoring (Kaiārahi), by 3pm on Tuesday 31 May for catering purposes: [email protected]
