Westburn Houses



As most of you would know Westburn School has 4 Houses: Sheppard, Hillary, Rutherford and Te Kanawa. At Westburn every child is given a House to be in for the rest of their time at Westburn. These four people are some of New Zealand's most famous icons. Photo number 1 is a mural on the back of Room 16, number two and three are their pictures and number four is our Westburn House Leaders who are given leadership opportunities to lead their quarter of the school.
