Westlake has now come of age when many of its past students look back and reflect on what their school has done for them. I am one of those people. I often think of how Westlake shaped me, my son and the thousands of others whose lives have been enhanced by an outstanding education underpinned by excellent teaching and wonderful experiences beyond the classroom.
