Our Community
Principal's Welcome
Wandiligong Primary School offers an educational experience that is as special and unique as our beautiful environment. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on the personal and social capabilities of students in a school environment that fosters creativity, independence and high achievement.
What sets Wandiligong apart from other schools is the caring, community orientated students. I have the pleasure of regularly witnessing acts of kindness and compassion between students across the school. Our multi age classrooms and friendly playground environment foster friendships across year levels that push students to achieve personal success. Students have great models to look up to and relish in that responsibility as they strive to emulate the successful leaders that have gone before them.
Our classrooms are fun, engaging, supportive yet positively challenging. Teachers strive to link learning in the classroom with the lived experience of children and we draw on our bountiful local resources to engage and stimulate students.
I invite you to become part of our Wandiligong community and for your children to experience the joy of being a 'Wandi' kid.
