Last month, 90 Westlake students took to the stage at the Aotea Centre for Showquest, delivering a powerful performance on the theme of Identity. Their story explored the pressure young people often feel to figure out who they are — even when they’re still discovering themselves.
Set in a chaotic circus, the performance followed a young girl on her journey to self-understanding. Along the way, she met a cast of colourful characters who each taught her something important: the strongmen showed her perseverance, the showgirls taught her confidence, and the clowns reminded her not to take life too seriously
Huge congratulations to the talented team, who took home awards for Excellence in Arts and Recognition in Technology! A special shoutout to Sabina Altorf, who was recognised with a Student Leadership Award for her outstanding work in lighting (see the album for a photo of her in action!)
What incredible creativity, teamwork, and technical skill on display — we’re very proud of you all.
