Wollongong West Public School is a vibrant and dynamic primary school that has served the West Wollongong community for over 90 years. Our school celebrates and values our diverse community, with 11% of students being Aboriginal and 47% of students learning English as an Additional Language/Dialect. 208 students currently attend our school.
Our school fosters a culture of inclusivity with students with diverse learning needs celebrated in all classes, including our two existing support classes catering for children with emotional disturbance and autism. In 2021, a new class to support children with autism will be established. All children are known, valued and cared for at Wollongong West Public School.
Our localised wellbeing framework supports a positive, therapeutic and trauma informed learning environment where all children are supported to connect, succeed and thrive. Strong relationships between all community members are central to our school. Our school is supported by an active and engaged P&C.
Students are engaged in personalised learning experiences to support each child's growth and achievement. Teachers employ an enquiring mind as they learn and grow as collaborative educators through evidenced based teaching practices developed through high quality professional learning experiences supported by our strong instructional leadership program. Student achievement of literacy and numeracy outcomes is a priority for our school, while also highly valuing our strong educational programs across all key learning areas. Extra-curricular activities offered at our school include band, choir, garden club, dance troupes, sporting gala days and public speaking competitions.
