Principal's Message

Welcome to our beautiful school! My name is Dan Card and it is my great honour to be principal of our school. For 75 years we have been a pillar in our community. Westminster exists to create a safe space for students to find out who they are and flourish into who they are meant to be. We provide rich and fulfilling experiences for students, coupled with academic discipline and community involvement. Students leave Westminster feeling challenged, respected, valued, and confident. As part of our celebrations, this year we revamped our school values which I wanted to share with you as an introduction to our school. 

At Westminster School, we value community: 

• We Are Inclusive. Everyone belongs and everyone is valued. We cultivate a secure, welcoming climate where every student has the right to learn and thrive. By embracing individual differences and addressing personal biases, we ensure a supportive environment free of stigma.
• We Are Community-Centred. Inside and outside of Westminster, we focus on building a better world. 
• We Have Fun. There is an element of joy and delight in all that we do.

At Westminster School, we value tradition: 

• We Build Character. Kind, compassionate, and empathetic students become kind, compassionate and empathetic citizens. These are personal qualities that are timeless. 
• We Give Back. Not only is service a part of who we are, it's part of the core building blocks of the IBMYP.  Every year, our students collectively commit to over 4,000 hours of volunteering. Westminster has a long standing tradition of giving back to the community. 

At Westminster School, we value innovation: 

• We Look Beyond Schooling. We educate whole, well-rounded students through a multitude of opportunities and rich experiences.
• We use High Impact Teaching Strategies. All students benefit from the universal support and intentionally planned learning experiences. We differentiate our practice to meet the needs of all learners. 
• We are Engaged, Empowered and Resilient. Engagement drives motivation and academic achievement, while empowerment cultivates self-advocacy and critical thinking. Above all, resilience equips our students to adapt, bounce back from setbacks, and navigate an ever-evolving world.
