Kia ora, Kia orana, Malo e leiei, Talofa Lava, Namaste, Hello and
Welcome to the Westmere School website!
Westmere School is about providing, in partnership with our community, the best learning opportunities
for our children, to prepare them to be well educated, creative, thoughtful
and responsible citizens in an ever changing world.
Our school has earned a reputation within our community for working hard to create an inclusive environment that values the diversity of our children and their families.
We ensure that a variety of opportunities are available to promote children's physical, emotional, academic and social development.
This may be senior students taking leadership roles as peer mediators or mentors in junior social skills programmes, to playing in an recorder ensemble, guitar group, dance group or sporting team.
Our staff are dedicated, skilled and experienced and enjoy working collaboratively as a team. We are proud of our positive school tone and the sense of community we feel children
experience when they relate in teina-tuakana roles.
The core values of our school are reinforced and encouraged in all aspects of our school life.
Our vision statement encourages the development of a nurturing place where students are excited by learning,
aim to be the best they can be
and where the talents and skills of each individual
are valued and developed.
In our school culture and programmes, we aim to make this happen.
