Meet the WCPS Animals below...
One of the many job positions which keep our school running smoothly and give our children experiences and responsibilities to prepare them for life are our animal carers. These children applied for their jobs because they loved animals, had experience of animals or wanted experience of working with animals or are interested in nature and wildlife. They were chosen to help to look after the animal residents of WCPS and take on the chores of feeding, cleaning out and giving them fresh water, as well of stroking them and thinking up ways to keep them busy and challenged... because at WCPS everyone learns... even the animals!
Why do we have animals at Whitefield?
Research has shown that pet ownership can be particularly beneficial for children: from teaching them responsibilities and about the cycle of life, to providing companionship and building confidence.
