A New Junior Primary Building for Westminster

At Westminster, learning begins with curiosity, courage and connection. The Preparatory School is where each child’s adventure starts — a place designed to ignite young minds through discovery and play.

As the next chapter in our Masterplan, we are creating a dedicated Junior Primary building for children from Reception to Year 3.

This inspiring new space will reflect the principles of Adventurous Education and nurture the growth of every child.

What Starts Here, Starts With You

Westminster was built on the generosity of those who came before us. Now it’s our turn to invest in the future — to honour what Westminster has been and all it is yet to become.

On Giving Day, Thursday 19 June 2025, we aim to raise $500,000 to help bring this vision to life.

Thanks to generous campaign matchers, every dollar will be tripled — amplifying your impact.

Be Part of the Legacy

This is more than a building — it’s a promise to future generations. Support Westminster’s youngest learners by contributing to Giving Day.

The redevelopment will create learning environments that are as agile, adventurous and forward-thinking as the students who move through them. -More than just a building, it will be a place where children feel a deep sense of belonging, where imagination is encouraged and where the foundations for lifelong adventurous learning are being laid.
