Rotary Interact
This year, Westlake girls has introduced a new Rotary Interact club to our students (pictured above).
In line with international Rotary values, our group focuses on bettering the community, and centres on the value of “service above self”. For the coming weeks, we have organised a project to donate any spare, clean blankets in our community to the Auckland City Mission, in support of the homeless, in preparation for the cold winter months to come.
Students will be informed about this project through mediums such as Form Class visits and the Daily Notices, and are encouraged to donate any spare blankets they have at home, in good condition, to this cause.
Friends and family are also encouraged to get involved and send their extra blankets through! Students will have the opportunity to drop their blankets off at Miss Foote’s office (opposite A5) during Week 6-7, while Rotary members will be stationed there during form times to aid with collection.
Parents are also welcome to drop blankets at the main reception here at school.
