Achievements

New Zealand School of Dance success

Congratulations to Lydia Chapman (Year 11) who, earlier this year, auditioned this year for full time study at The New Zealand School of Dance for 2024. Last week Lydia, for whom this has been a lifelong ambition, heard she was successful and she will be leaving WHS to take up her place in the new year. Congratulations Lydia!

Election night shout out for Caspar

Caspar Levack (Year 11) has been working hard this election campaigning for the Green Party. Despite being unable to vote, Caspar got a personal shoutout from Tamatha Paul during her winning speech at the Green Party function on Saturday night:

Caspar was responsible for 15% of the 40,000 phone calls and door knocks for the Green Party campaign in Wellington Central over the last six months. He certainly put a lot of hours in!
