Our School Story

Westwind is a vibrant, active school with 450 students from Kindergarten through Grade 7.  Our school is situated in the southwest part of Richmond near Steveston and No. 2 Road. We currently have 19 divisions in our school. Our staff is dedicated to creating a supportive, inclusive learning environment for all of our students, encouraging our students to become kind, compassionate, independent learners who demonstrate respect, appreciation and a positive attitude in all that they do. Our school is made up of a close-knit community of families who generously support their children and school. We even have some parents and staff who are alumni of Westwind! Westwind has a strong, cohesive Parent Advisory Committee that works hard to support our school and to provide our students with a variety of programs and experiences by organizing many fundraising opportunities including: hot lunches, movie nights, snack days, a winter raffle, and even a parent dance! Many of our students are very active in community sports and activities such as hockey, lacrosse, football, gymnastics, softball, soccer, dance, and track programs offered here in Richmond. After Grade 7, most students at Westwind will move on to attend either McMath or Steveston-London Secondary Schools.
