Westerford burns

It was a normal day in the life of a westerfordian. We were more than happy to be pulled out of MATHS but little did we know that this was not a drill. The school flooded onto the field and panic set in as we saw the height of the Flames engulfing Great Westerford, the office block next door. We all lined up into our classes and roll call was taken. We have just found out that it is an electrical fire. The wind has changed direction causing the fire to flare up again and to move in the direction of the school. We have now been instructed to cover our noses with our Blazers to avoid smoke inhalation and we're to a field on higher ground, further away from the fire. Ironically it is the school's Founder's day and so we are unsure of whether the traditional proceedings will continue. However, the Westerford spirit has been ignited on this momentous occasion so why not use this opportunity to take a school selfie?
