Our school prides itself on its opportunity-based curriculum. Our curriculum is specifically tailored to empower our young men, giving them the knowledge, skills, confidence and set of behaviours to become fully engaged citizens within the community.

Our school prides itself in having the highest reputation in our community, exemplified at all times, by the conduct of the West Hill Boy.
