Walhallow Public School

Walhallow Public School is a small rural school, located thirty kilometres from the towns of Werris Creek and Quirindi. The school has an enrolment of 9 students, with 100% of students identifying as Aboriginal.  

The school is located within the Aboriginal community of Walhallow, on Kamilaroi land. The students and families are very proud of their Aboriginal heritage and are excited to have a culture and language program as part of their children's education. 

The school has high expectations for the students, staff and community. Learning programs are personalised for each student to promote learning and wellbeing as well as cultural identity. 

The current strategic directions of the school include enhancing curriculum delivery by ensuring it is diverse and inclusive, aimed at engaging and extending students; the development of assessment practices and the monitoring of student performance data to ensure teaching and learning programs are explicit, differentiated and engaging; strengthening teacher practice through high impact professional learning and developing dynamic school wide systems; and, collaboration within and beyond the school to develop local cultural awareness, build on our Liverpool Plains Community of Practice and continue to engage with community and inter-agencies for student wellbeing. Every student is known, valued and cared for at Walhallow Public School. 

Walhallow Public School strives to develop the potential of every student through a culturally inclusive and relevant curriculum, supported by strong school and community partnerships. By valuing individuals and being committed to student well-being, Walhallow Public School aims to develop self-regulated, responsible and respectful lifelong learners.
