Westlea welcome arch celebrates ten years Sheila Mitchell attended Westlea School's birthday party
Pupils and staff of Westlea School assembled on 22 October with parents and members of Westlea toddler and playgroup to celebrate the school's tenth birthday by opening a permanent, decorated 'Welcome Arch' in front of the main entrance. Master of cermonies headteacher Neil Griffiths conducted the proceedings and reminded everybody of the important and good things Westlea School stands for. Community artist Marie Brett, who worked with the children to create the decoration on the arch, lit a birthday racket which sparkled in the blue sky above the gathered school. Birthday girl, ten year old Sabrina Cummins, planted ten tulip
bulbs and helped Play Officer Paul Ryan plant a honeysuckle which will climb the arch. Given the honour of opening the arch by cutting a ribbon were longest serving teachers Judith Golec and Pam Woollard, who havebeen teachers throughout the school's ten years. After everybody had passed through the arch, parents had coffee in the school hall whilst the children enjoyed a day of fun and games. The arch is decorated with the word 'Welcome' upon which ideas contributed by the children have been painted - love hearts, fish, the world -and the word 'welcome' in many different languages
Longest serving member of staff Judith Golec cuts a ribbon to open the arch with Pam Woollard, who joined a few days later, holding a tenth birthday cake
