Welcome to
South Westland Area School
South Westland Education
For Students Year 0 - Year 13
Message from our Principal
We focus on providing education in a caring environment. Our commitment is to support and encourage students to strive for personal goals of excellence and to achieve their full potential. Our positive, caring and supportive learning environment enables each child to develop academically, physically, socially and personally. We enjoy a proud tradition of high academic, sporting and cultural achievements.
In partnership with our community we seek to provide broad-based learning opportunities which address the needs of all students. Close working relationships between students, staff and parents in a family atmosphere are highly valued.
We can offer a wide range of senior subjects with a teacher or through the video conferencing facilities.
Our Mission Statement
South Westland Area School aims
1) to prepare students to meet the demands of life confidently;
2) to ensure effective, efficient use of our available resources.
Our staff are considered as one unit so that strengths of individual teachers can be used across a wide range of classes. This flexibility and continuity gives the area school advantages over primary, intermediate and secondary schools. The school recognises the unique nature of our area including aspects of the community such as hospitality and friendliness. We attempt to reflect these things in the standards we set. The students of the area are quite different from their city counterparts. Both the school and the community are proud of our young people.
I invite you to join us.
