Educators are innovators.

I am delighted to be Principal of Wangaratta West Primary School and proud to lead the school that has been educating the children of Wangaratta and surrounding communities since 1950.

Our school provides a safe, happy and stimulating learning environment where every child achieves their best.

We foster the development of globally aware and community minded students that have the skills and attitudes necessary to thrive in the 21st century.

Wangaratta West Primary School has high expectations of all our students and expect excellent social  and learning behaviours.

Our vibrant, dedicated and highly competent staff create wonderful classroom learning environments with a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. We focus on differentiating the curriculum to suit the needs of each and every learner.

Specialist programs include dynamic music education, creative arts, Italian and Physical Education, Science and digital technology programs to stimulate and engage our students and compliment the core areas of literacy and numeracy.

Our values of respect and tolerance are at the core of all of our dealings with each other and the wider community. We are committed to providing our students with strategies to sort out problems and articulate effectively. We believe that reporting problems or issues in our school community is everyone’s responsibility. If we are made aware of an issue we deal quickly and effectively. 

Wangaratta West Primary School is committed to providing a child safe environment where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives. Particular attention will be paid to the cultural safety of Aboriginal children and children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as the safety of children with a disability.

Every person involved in Wangaratta West Primary School has a responsibility to understand the important and specific role he/she plays individually and collectively to ensure that the wellbeing and safety of all children and young people is at the forefront of all they do and every decision they make.
