Here you are at West Lodge Elementary School.
West Lodge Primary opened on January 1st, 2009, following the merger of West Lodge First School and West Lodge Middle School.
Being named the Headteacher of West Lodge is a huge honour. Following in Mrs. Kim James' inspirational footsteps, I intend to strengthen and expand upon the excellent foundations already in place.
The employees at West Lodge put in endless effort to give every kid the greatest possible teaching and learning environment.
We want our students to look forward to going to school and to learning.
It's thrilling to work and study at our school.
We offer a vibrant, creative curriculum that pushes, encourages, and inspires our students while allowing them to take part in a variety of high-quality learning activities.
The institution just underwent a little expansion.
The Kaleidoscope school has constructed a new wing that will eventually house 18 spaces for students on the autism spectrum, allowing these kids to benefit from specialised instruction and resources in a regular classroom.
With 18 spots filled, Kaleidoscope is currently at capacity.
For every child, we have a deep commitment to their unique success, personal development, and pursuit of excellence.
