Are you logged into Seesaw?

Seesaw is a really important tool we use regularly at West. If you do not have this app please contact our school office and find out how you can obtain it. This digital app-based platform allows students, teachers, and parents/carers to communicate and share classroom activities. It’s a quick and easy way for teachers and students to capture, and share, what's happening in the classroom and a great way for you and your child’s teacher to communicate. Teachers and students use Seesaw several times each week – it would be super if everyone had access to this tool.

Waste free means only packing items that can be composted or recycled and that won’t end up in the garbage bin. That means, no plastic wrap, no foil, no zip lock bags and no packaged foods

Gr Six student leaders breakfast meeting with Anne, Luke & Amber

On Wednesday morning, Anne, Luke and Amber met with the Student Leaders for a breakfast meeting at Café 1909. Apart from having a yummy breaky, our student leaders
