ACHIEVEMENT, BELONGING, CARE

A Culture of Legacy

Achievement
Achievement

Westside students are encouraged to do their best. We celebrate their visible successes and applaud their simpler, but no less significant achievements—personal, academic, sport or extra-curricular; even when that maths concept finally sinks in.

Belonging
Belonging

We value each child here. As students form a personal appreciation of who God has made them to be and the value of who they are, they develop a sense of belonging that is crucial to supporting emotional well-being, confidence and life-long learning.

CARE
CARE

Our students are given opportunities to build resilience, empathy, and kindness. By creating a safe environment for healthy conversations, we aim to dispel myths associated with hardships surrounding growing up, relationships, serious illness, and poverty.

TESTIMONIAL

I so enjoy coming to school each day. There’s such a sense of belonging here. I love finding the gold in each student, and drawing that out.
Taryn Behr, Teacher
Westside—a wonderful education, school friends, and families—the best! So yes, bring your children to this school. It is so worth it!
Kathy Accutt, Parent
I love the values we have here—achievement, belonging and care—and the college is able to achieve those through longevity of staff. And that establishes a great culture.
Shane de Graaf, Parent
One staff member had a huge impact on me and shaped the person I am today. Now a teacher here, I still marvel at the care and time teachers invest in students.
Steven Johnson, Teacher & former student
I really valued having positive relationships and honest conversations with my teachers. I was able to take their advice without offence, and that enabled me to work better.
