Supporting the UnitingSA Christmas Appeal
As Christmas approaches, it is a time of joy and celebration for many families. However, for some South Australians, the festive season can bring added financial pressure, hardship and loneliness.
This year, Westminster’s Preparatory School is once again proud to support the UnitingSA Christmas Appeal, helping bring hope and practical support to individuals and families in need.
We invite our School community to contribute by donating new toys, gifts for children and adults or non-perishable food items. Every donation, big or small, can make a meaningful difference this Christmas.
Students are invited to place their donations under the Christmas tree during:
- JP Chapel: Tuesday
- Prep Chapel: Thursday
For gift ideas and a full list of suggested donations, please visit the UnitingSA Christmas Appeal.
Thank you for your generosity and compassion as we come together to share the spirit of Christmas with those who need it most.

Preparatory School Raises Over $3,000 for Canteen
On Thursday 29 October, our Preparatory School came together to celebrate Bandanna Day in support of Canteen, raising an incredible $3,000 to support young people and their families affected by cancer.
Hundreds of bandannas were sold, with students and families showing their generosity and support for this important cause.
A special thank you to Year 6 student leaders Maddie, Anna and Evie, who brought this wonderful initiative to life, along with our Years 3–6 Student Representative Council (SRC) representatives who helped sell bandannas on the day.
We are incredibly proud of our students for demonstrating such initiative, compassion and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who purchased a bandanna or made a donation
