Dufflebag Theatre's Beauty and the Beast

Westminster P.S. is proud host to Dufflebag Theatre’s 
Beauty & The Beast Thursday, May 4th. 2017

We are looking forward to seeing this year's billingual dramatization of Beauty and the Beast or "La belle et la bete" as part of our Arts Package for the year.   
"When a handsome but arrogant prince insults a mysterious old woman who appears at his door one rainy night, he finds himself magically transformed into a “horrible, nasty Beast”! The spell can only be broken when he learns to love another more than he loves himself. Fortunately, fate sends a bright and beautiful village girl, searching for her missing father in the forest, towards the hidden castle. Can the Beast learn his lesson and redeem himself before it’s too late? DuffleBag’s adaptation of this timeless classic is guaranteed to ring a Belle!"
Dufflebag Theatre, uses student participation to add to this funny and original adaptation of this classic fairy tale which is fun for all ages and meets many of our curriculum expectations for drama and literacy. Whether you know the fairy tale as a book, cartoon or live movie adaptation, the moral lessons of the story leave much to discuss and the mix of French and English also contributes to our Core French Curriculum and encourages the authentic use of the French language.

Character Assembly on "Integrity"

Our Character Assembly this month will be focusing on "Integrity". Throughout the month, our students have been discussing what integrity means to them in the classrooms and with their friends in the school yard. Our students are learning that to have integrity means to be truthful and sincere; to care for the well-being of others by how they treat each other. Displaying integrity is not always easy. It is one of our most difficulty character traits to live by and sometimes it takes years to truly understand what it means.

We look forward to honouring those students who have displayed this trait at our awards assembly on Wednesday, October 28th at 11:15 a.m.

Parents and guardians are welcome to join us.  We thank Mr. Clark and Ms. Croteau's grade 2/3s for hosting the assembly this month.


"Integrity is doing the right thing even if it's difficulty; even when no one is watching." 


"If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it."
