Our Westlake students had some amazing results at the Surf lifesaving national competition held in New Brighton, Christchurch on 9th – 12th March. Beautiful sun and some of the biggest waves in Nationals history (4-6 foot) made conditions very challenging but it was great to be there after the event being cancelled for the last three years due to Covid.
