School Focus: Westville Girls' High School

At Westville Girls' High School, we wholeheartedly recognise and celebrate each learner as a unique individual. Our devoted staff is committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where all learners can flourish and excel in their chosen areas of interest.

During their time at school, learners acquire essential life skills. These skills encompass appropriate behaviour, etiquette, and decision-making, as well as fostering curiosity, resilience, and a growth mindset to help them achieve their fullest potential.

As educators, we offer continuous guidance and support, placing the well-being of our learners as our top priority. Each learner is acknowledged, valued, and encouraged to cultivate a sense of belonging and self-worth.

As a school, our priority is to instil a love of learning, in turn developing lifelong learners. We aim to shape curious questioning minds that explore and create in new and alternative ways. Our academic approach is holistic and student-centred, focusing on growth and development. The medium of instruction is English.

Since 1991, we have proudly maintained a 100% pass rate in our NSC results, demonstrating our commitment to the academic excellence of our learners.

We are committed to a comprehensive educational philosophy that recognises the essential role of physical activity. Therefore, we provide a wide and thrilling array of sports opportunities. Our coaches are dedicated to supporting the sports that our learners are enthusiastic about and eager to engage in. Learners can take part in both competitive and social levels of participation.
