Principal's Welcome Message
Welcome to the Westfields Sports High School Website. Our school offers a dynamic, creative and supportive learning
environment in which all students are encouraged, by a committed staff, to pursue personal excellence in academic pursuits,
citizenship, sport and the arts. Our extended educational community provides a caring and supportive environment,
recognising and rewarding individual and cooperative achievement.
Westfields High was the first sports high school in Australia and continues to lead the way with innovative and highly
developed sports programs. We are recognised around Australia and throughout the world and have produced a large number of
Australian sports representatives across a variety of sports.
Westfields Sports also has a proud record of academic achievement. 2007 HSC results were outstanding and an indication of
the importance which the school places on learning. There were 43 Band 6 (top 10% in the state) results and a top UAI of
99.6. In addition 95 students were offered university places in 2008. In terms of adding value to students results from
the School Certificate to the Higher School Certificate, Westfields is in the top twenty percent of all schools across the
state.
The school boasts excellent facilities and resources, a broad and flexible curriculum and timetable structure, numerous
extra curricula programs including overseas tours, and a strong and supportive welfare system.
Westfields Sports High is a very special school community. It has an active and supportive P&C, strong community support
and input into the sports program, committed, highly experienced and talented staff and superb student leaders.
I am very proud to be part of the Westfields Sports Family and trust that your tour of our website will be interesting and
informative.
