Westminster Life - Term 2 2025

Welcome to Edition 2 of Westminster Life

It has been another outstanding term of achievement, in the classrooms and beyond at Westminster.

From academic accomplishments to excellence across our co-curricular endeavours, our students have embraced every opportunity with commitment and enthusiasm.

As the first semester draws to a close, I extend my sincere thanks to our entire community for your dedication and support.

As we pause for a three-week break, I invite you to hear from our students as they share their highlights and reflections on a vibrant and fulfilling term.

I look forward to welcoming you back to Westminster in Term 3.
