Welcome to
Westmere Primary School in Whanganui

Kia ora,

Thank you for considering, our kura, Westmere School for your child's education.

We are a caring School community with awesome facilities required for an excellent education. Our skilled and supportive staff provide interesting and challenging programmes. The emphasis is on the individual, building their skills and self esteem so that they will be empowered to take responsibility for their own learning.

Situated as we are on the outskirts of Whanganui, we have a rural environment with the facilities of town and enjoy the best of both worlds. Our Board of Trustees and PTA work diligently to provide us with our needs - in the classroom , on the sports field and culturally.

If you require any further information or would like to discuss enrolment at Westmere, please call to make an appointment. We look forward to welcoming you into our school community.

Phil Walker,

Tumuaki/Principal.
