SASC (Student and Staff Council)

SASC stands for Staff and Student Council. This responsibility team carries out a range of initiatives within Westside and represents the school in the wider community. They have regular meetings with staff, as well as with student ambassadors from years 7-11, to ensure optimal communication across the members of the school.

We are pleased to present the members of our Student and Staff Council (SASC) for 2025/2026. 

Senior Prefects

Recent SASC Activities

International Men's Day and International Women's Day events

Reps have attended round table discussions at Deloitte and Hassans where they have discussed related issues that are relevant today. The organisers of these events have described our pupils as 'exceptional', 'intelligent' and 'extremely mature'. They have also attended conferences organised by the Ministry of Equality to mark these dates. In the latest conference, Caitlyn Bautista, head student, gave an outstanding experience on being a young woman today.

Beautification of the sixth form outside area

At Westside, we believe in meaningful interpersonal relationships and interactions. We wanted sixth form students to have an outdoor space that felt comfortable and appealing, so that they could study outdoors if they chose, or take a break from their work in the fresh air. Reps have been gardening, building and beautifying in their weekly Wednesday meetings...watch this space for updates!

Bringing the green into our space

As part of the beautification drive, senior prefects have been planting, watering and nurturing lots of wonderful plants, flowers and seedlings that were donated to the school by members of Gibraltar's community. 

A recycling programme

SASC successfully runs weekly recycling collections from teachers' offices and classrooms and is slowly building their sustainability initiatives.

Head Student Aditya Dhanwani coordinated a large number of volunteers from SASC to raise £415 for Action4Schools. More recently, SASC raised an impressive £710 for the Valencia appeal.
