Community
Westland High School depends on it's strong links with the local community to offer the best opportunities to our students. School-community partnerships bring together critical resources and strategies to enhance caring communities that support all youth and their families and enable success at school and beyond.
There are many ways in which local families and businesses can help to support our school and it's students. This section of our website will be kept up to date with specific requests, or you may contact the school at any time if you would like to offer support.
Pounamu magazine sponsorship
Pounamu is our record of school activities in the community and a treasured keepsake for our departing students and their families to look back on in the future. The magazine is professionally printed and over 300 copies will be distributed to Westland High School staff, students and their families.
To subsidise the cost of producing this quality publication we are offering advertising space to local business and also offering families the chance to sponsor a page in the magazine.
You can click here to view the full list of advertising and sponsorship available. Applications close on November 9th.
Contact the school if you would like further information.
Gateway Placements
Gateway is a formal type of work experience in which students are assessed by Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) at their workplace. We are always looking for new businesses and industries for our students to gain experience in. If you would be willing to have a senior student placed in your business (for one day a week or more), please get in contact with our Gateway co-ordinator Anne Marie Greig.
