Scholarship

Scholarship is an opportunity for continued academic growth for Senior students.  

Students are assessed at a level beyond that being assessed in Level 3 standards and participation can provide them with skills useful in pathways beyond the high school environment. Students may sit Scholarship in one or more subjects. 

Depending on the area of study, a student will display a range of:

• comprehensive content knowledge (breadth and depth);
• effective communication;
• original or sophisticated solutions, performances, or approaches;
• critical evaluation;
• flexible thinking in unfamiliar/unexpected contexts.

Westlake Girls High School proudly supports students who wish engage with further learning providing tutorials and workshops throughout the year that provide participants with the opportunity to further develop their skills and knowledge in their chosen areas.  Assessments are Externally marked and successful participants gain a small monetary recognition.  Scholarships are awarded to the top 3% of a cohort with outstanding Scholarships being awarded to the top 1%.

 If you would like more information about Scholarship in a specific subject area then please contact the Scholarship Coordinator, [email protected], and you will be directed to the Scholarship teacher for that subject.
