Westfields Sports High School

To be honest, do not go to this high school. Majority of staff and teachers don’t do well to educate their students. There are only some that will actually teach you, that is if you’re lucky enough to even have them. There are very little teachers that will understand you. Do I feel safe here? Not really, it’s a very stressful environment, considering there are many students who get out of control and teachers who don’t do anything. There are also teachers who dob on students. The uniforms are expensive and not worth it. Jackets are very thin, only with 1 zipper and one other open pocket. Teachers are very strict on maintaining perfect uniform. Honestly, uniform notes are one of the most silliest things i have ever encountered. Wearing black socks instead of white? Uniform slip. Classrooms are okay, sometimes disorganised and messed up by previous students. Outdoors is also fine. The canteen is expensive too. Just make or buy your food elsewhere. The school is very focused on only education and students who do sport. There’s not much activities that encourage creativity, and if there were, it’s already too late. Sport/PE activities are repeated and often not as fun. There’s not much options. Coming to this high school only discourages you.

Honestly wish I could give 0 stars upon wshs, but I can’t so 1 is okay. The following is purely based off my own personal experience and opinion. They really only care about their sport students, brushing off the needs of everyone else. If you want your kids to succeed in a sport school though, take them to hills sports high school. This is just based upon my experience of their reputation within wshs. If you or your child already goes to westfields, best to leave now before it’s too late. The education is not taken seriously and you don’t gain much from it. I was supposed to have received 3 certificates from completing 3 different EVET courses and received nothing from them. You can tell I am really pissed for the amount of years I spent there and partially blame myself for staying. Don’t get me started on the favoritism, cause I can go all day about how some of the students (particularly ‘sporties’) treat others. They look down on you for not fitting their standards and talk badly about each other then proceed to act like everything is chocolates and rainbows between them. This is called being fake? Let’s also talk about the fact that there are no extracurricular activities for students who don’t do sports. You are only allowed to attend swimming, athletics and cross country if you participate in their events. They don’t have any excursions, school or camp trips, no meaningful fundraisers within the school either. If you want the full and happy high school experience just attend a normal public school. I realised too late, but hopefully I can help someone else gain the experience I should have got.

Horrible, the deputies and teachers do not have your children’s best interests. Seen so many amazing kids lose their spark and potential. The education is not top tier, the focus is mainly on sports and the students who do sports.
