Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
Wolumla Public School was established in 1882 and since its inception has been a centrepiece of the small rural community it serves. Over the years the school has retained a close connection to the local community in which students, staff and families feel a deep sense of ownership and pride. Upon first arrival, the beautiful surroundings and rural charm will make you feel welcomed and at home.
The primary motivation for all staff at Wolumla Public School is the pursuit of excellence in all that we do. Every student is valued as an individual and the shared relationships between teachers and pupils is one of personal rapport aligned with high expectations. All students are deeply valued in their educational journey, and programming is differentiated to ensure the success of every student. At WPS we believe in personal success and that everyone has different strengths and abilities which require encouragement and nurturing. To this end we offer a broad range of opportunities within our curriculum to meet specific needs. While the driving priorities of literacy and numeracy retain the highest level of importance, we also ensure that students remain thoroughly engaged with their schooling through programs in languages (French), music, sport, technology, drama, art and craft and many extracurricular opportunities such as camps and excursions.
Regards,
Peter Claxton, Principal
