Wandong Primary School ¿ Our Vision:

¿Wandong Primary School ¿ Making a difference by developing confident, independent and resilient learners who strive for personal excellence.¿

Our Mission is to:

· Inspire others to learn

· Provide ongoing feedback

· Build self esteem

· Model integrity

Wandong Primary School is located approximately sixty kilometres north of Melbourne, just off the Hume Highway. It is in a semi-rural township and currently has a school population of 499 students. Enrolments are steadily increasing due to the development of new housing estates and the ease with which families can access employment either within the neighbouring townships or in the outlying areas of Melbourne. Expected enrolment for 2025 is 500.

The positive and supportive culture of our school is the result of a consistently delivered Student Management process that reinforces behaviours demonstrating our school values of `Respect¿, ¿Responsibility¿, ¿Care¿, ¿Friendship¿, ¿Honesty¿ and ¿Doing your Best¿, whilst also supporting students having difficulty to make better choices in the future.

Wandong Primary School provides a balanced curriculum encompassing all expectations of the Victoria Curriculum. Early and Middle Years Literacy and Numeracy programs provide the core of a diverse whole school curriculum. Integrated units of inquiry encompass the disciplines of Humanities and Science. Specialist programs deliver learning in the areas of Visuals Arts, Digital Technology, Performing Arts, Physical Education, AUSLAN and Science.

Early identification and support for students at risk is of paramount importance. A range of support programs assists these students to increase their current levels of achievement. These include Literacy Intervention, a focussed Oral Language Phonics Program and the employment of Education Support staff for our D&I funded students.

Additional extracurricular activities include a Foundation ¿ Grade 6 camping program, school concerts, a swimming program, a sporting schools program and excursions within the local area and beyond.

An external service provider within our school site for interested families provides music lessons.
