WHS Crest
The Tale of West House School and the Teddy Bear Tradition

In the halls of West House School, a tradition so bright,

Welcoming new boys with a gift, a beacon in the night.

A cuddly teddy bear, with a name that’s quite unique,

Westie is its title, for the gentle and the meek.

A sign of settling in, a promise of what’s to come,

The beginning of a journey, a melody to strum.

A sweet and soft companion, to share the days of youth,

From the eager early learning, to the wisdom of the truth.

So cherished are these Westies, a symbol of their school,

They journey with the boys, a comforting and steady tool.

In the heart of every scholar, a Westie finds a place,

From the corners of West House, to the wide, expansive space.

So here’s to the tradition, in the West House School so grand,

A teddy bear named Westie, a friend in every hand.

An emblem of their journey, a token of their pride,

A reminder of their roots, as they take life in their stride.
