Junior Primary
We are excited to announce that in 2012 there is a third Reception class at Westminster. Creating this third class means that the children in Reception in 2012 are enjoying classes of about 17 or 18.
At Westminster School, Junior Primary consists of students from Reception to Year 2. Students in these years have access to the same facilities as their older counterparts, but enjoy the benefit of having a separate, safe and welcoming playground close to their classrooms.
Literacy (reading, spelling and writing) is done each morning before recess when students are at their freshest. Many parents come into the classrooms at the start of the day for reading. Numeracy/Maths is then normally done between recess and lunch. There are specialist teachers in Art, Music, Information and Communication Technologies, Sport, Japanese, Library and RAVE (Religious and Values Education) from Reception onwards. There is a mix of male and female teachers. The maximum class size is 25 for Junior Primary.
