AROUND THE COLLEGE

Cross Country 

The Western Heights College Cross Country Trials were held Tuesday 12th May, with a fantastic turnout of 125 students registering to participate. It was wonderful to see so many students getting involved, showing great spirit, determination and encouragement for one another throughout the event.

A big thank you to the staff members who assisted with supervision and registrations on the day, helping ensure the event ran smoothly. We would also like to acknowledge the students who volunteered their time to record laps and assist in determining the final place getters.

School Photos Update

We have been advised that school photos are expected to arrive in approximately 3–4 weeks. Unfortunately, there has been a delay due to a high volume of orders across multiple schools. The school will notify families as soon as the photos arrive. They will be available for collection from the office for two days for any families who wish to pick them up directly. After this time, any remaining photos will be distributed to students via their mentor group teacher.
