The World Vision 40-Hour Challenge has been a longstanding fundraising campaign at Westlake Girls High School, with 2023 marking our 40-year partnership with this incredible humanitarian aid organisation. The challenge is a way for students across Aotearoa to help bring lifesaving water to struggling communities worldwide.
This year, the mahi shown by Westlake’s students was remarkable. As a school, we raised the most money ever, with our final total amounting to $15065.90. In doing so, we also won an impressive bunch of awards:
– Westlake Girls High School was presented a Gold Award, placing in the top 10 best-performing schools in the nation.
– Ms Shona McRae: Upper North Island Outstanding Challenge Organiser Award
– Dinithi Liyanage: Upper North Island Greatest Individual Impact Award
The top 5 fundraising students from Westlake Girls High School deserve a special mention:
- Willow Adams
- Kaitlyn Kong
- Emily Stretton
- Maia Holland
- Maia George.
A massive thank you and congratulations to everyone who participated in the WGHS 40-Hour Challenge 2023!
