At Westlake Boys, we are committed to providing an outstanding learning environment and we are proud of our educational reputation.
Year on year our academic results are amongst the strongest in New Zealand, and many of our students are granted entry into prestigious universities both locally and internationally.
By making lessons interesting and relevant, teachers at Westlake Boys are dedicated to ensuring each student aims high academically to achieve their potential. Through meaningful interaction with each individual student, our teachers are able to understand how each boy can thrive and gain optimal learning outcomes.
We believe that by providing a range of opportunities for our students, inside and outside of the classroom, we will help them discover their passion and fulfil their potential.
What makes us unique?
At Westlake Boys High School, we are a friendly and supportive International Team who are committed to the growth and well-being of each of our students. We have a well-resourced International Department which provides first language support to help with the students’ transition.
Pastoral Care is paramount to us. By aiming to create a sense of belonging, we ensure our students are safe, happy and engaged. We strive to make our students’ home and school life a memorable and rewarding experience. Fostering strong links to our students’ families allows us to develop an understanding of each student’s needs.
Sports, Activities & Trips
Here at Westlake, each student will have the chance to be involved in a huge number of activities. We believe in education in its broadest sense. We encourage every boy to get involved in a range of activities: it is a great way to learn life skills, meet new friends, enjoy healthy competition and, most importantly, have fun. In other words, we think we are always learning, in and out of the classroom, and that it is our job to give students as many opportunities as possible to find their passion.
