Westlake Primary School

🌍💧 Proud of our Eco-Champions! 💧🌍

From March to June, our learners took part in the "Save a Fishie" Schools Eco Challenge, learning about pollution, waste reduction, recycling, water conservation, and protecting our natural ecosystems.

They put that learning into action through community clean-ups, recycling drives, and cleaning up the vlei right here in Westlake! 🌿🐟

We may not have won, but we are so proud of our learners for their hard work and commitment to a cleaner, greener community. 💚

We will continue to champion environmental awareness and do our part to take care of our environment.

Well done, Eco-Champions — you make us proud! 👏

Thank you Sue Heese and Ms Adams for coordinating and facilitating this initiative.

Our Grade 1 learners ended off their theme: community Helpers. We had different community helpers come and educate us on what they do and how we can play our part ❤️.

Two days into Term 3, and Westlake Primary is already buzzing with learning!

From learners immersed in books to engaging, purposeful learning in every classroom, our school has hit the ground running. The enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment shown by our learners and staff are a reminder of what makes Westlake Primary such an extraordinary place.

We are excited for the term ahead and can't wait to see our learners continue to learn, grow, and DREAM BIG.

Here's to a fantastic Term 3! 💚

At Westlake Primary, our motto is “Dream Big!” Seeing former learners like Diego live out that motto fills us with pride. Now a Grade 12 learner, Diego has embraced numerous leadership roles and continues to make a positive impact in his school community. We are incredibly proud of all he has achieved and wish him every success for the future.

Westlake Primary School:
Westlake is the name of the school and the community, and the river.



Water is the focus of the project. This includes rain and water in the ground, the Westlake river, the vlei into which the river flows and the sea. We want to use water as it shows how these are all connected.



Warriors was chosen as:

It show action.

Warriors don’t give up or surrender.

They defend and protect what is important.

They are brave and fearless.

They work as a team and force - they support each other.
The meaning of the flag colours:

Blue : sky where rainwater comes from, river, vlei, sea, life-giving

Green: mountains and land, nature, growth

Yellow: the beach where the river flows into the sea energy, action
