Year 13 Prefects Anja Filip and Holly Williams spoke at the World Women and sport conference held the Aotea Centre in Auckland on 15 November. They were part of a group of 6 students that gave their personal stories of how participating in physical activity and sport has affected their wellbeing. The session was full of interaction with plenty of questions coming from the audience of 100 people, which they handled like seasoned professionals. The girls were amazing and it was wonderful to see them be themselves and hear how physical activity and sport has helped to shape their lives.
A big thank you to both of them for representing Westlake and for giving up their valuable time while they were in the middle of their NCEA exams.
