H.E.A.R.T. Week 4


This week...




Westport South School 75th Reunion

To celebrate this very special occasion, we held an assembly in the afternoon on Friday which was attended by many former pupils and staff, plus members of the public.

The Kapa Haka group gave a stunning performance.

The children of Rooms 5 and 6 performed two little songs and a folk dance.
