Pupuke claim victory second year in a row Our annual house haka competition took place on our top field last month, which saw our six houses perform their variation of the Westlake Haka to staff and community members. The boys were graded on their original choreography and delivery, before facing off against rival houses and performing as a whole school to the hundreds of individuals who attended the event. Such traditions highlight the cultural diversity and brotherhood that exists at Westlake, with Pupuke House winning the overall competition for the second year in a row.

Top in Cambridge; top in New Zealand The 2019 Cambridge Awards Dinner was recently held at Eden Park. This event was well attended and acknowledged our school and individuals' recent scholarship success. Yiming Xu won the top Cambridge Award in New Zealand. Yiming was top across three A level subjects in New Zealand and continues to pursue his studies as an engineer in the United Kingdom. Our 2019 Dux, Tej Joshi, even managed to attend the awards ceremony while he was in India, thanks to Yiming facetiming him during the event.
