material produced. Thank you to Mrs

Karelse for creating such engaging

lessons in art all year that resulted in such

inspirational work. Thank you also to Mrs

Cheetham for volunteering in every Art

show.

WESTMINSTER JUNIOR PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER ISSUE 19 –28th November 2017

Dear Parents and Caregivers

Primary Science Laboratory I am pleased to let you know

Westminster Junior and Westminster

Primary Schools has been successful in

our application for a specialist science

laboratory. Work on converting an

existing room will occur during 2018 or

2019, depending on construction

schedules.

We will also receive $25,000 to purchase

science resources to equip the

laboratory. Funding will be allocated to

our school on completion of the

refurbishment.

These new facilities and resources will

allow us to grow our science program

and motivate and engage our students

to excel from Kindergarten right through

to Year 6 and beyond.

Leaving end of 2017 I would like to let the school community

know that I have obtained a permanent

position at Roseworth PS for 2018. I have

really enjoyed my year at Westminster

JPS and will miss the children and their

families. WJPS is a fantastic school and

the next principal will be very lucky to

work with such committed and

passionate staff. The selection process

for a new principal is currently

underway.

Art Show Book Launch

"The Opening of the Art Show was a great success! Janine Freeman, Member for Mirrabooka attended and spent lots of time looking at the artworks and talking to parents. It was lovely to see so many parents come to check out their childrens' artwork, and the children were thrilled to be famous artists for the week. The opening of the show featured songs by the WJPS Choir and a lovely afternoon tea." Niki Karelse - Art Specialist Teacher

The Colour Run is almost here!

Leading up to the “main event” on Friday 1 December, the P&C will be having a whole day of “colour” and

“fun” starting in the Undercover Café. Along with our Sausage Sizzle, we will be serving up lots of colourful

treats and delights to add to the fun of the day.

Our special Colourful Menu will be available in the classrooms and around the schools and

undercover café.

Undercover Café (Canteen) Open 8.30am – 1.20pm every Thursday and Friday

(Until further Notice)

Thank you to our students and staff who have supported our Undercover Café during the term.

We have opened every Thursday and Friday since the beginning of Term 4 and we have been very pleased with our sales and your support.

Tammie has settled very nicely into her role as the Canteen Officer and under the direction of the P&C Executive has worked very hard with minimal help! She has managed to keep our children and staff fed and nourished during morning tea and lunch. Tammie is always thinking of new ideas but in keeping with tradition is serving “old” favourites like muffins, pikelets, curry and rice, toasties, fish and chips and pizza of our “open” menu.

If you would like to help Tammie on either Thursday or Friday, please speak to Norm.

What’s in December?
