Each student at Wooranna Park Primary School is valued for their individual potential, diverse capabilities and curiosities. Together we aim to grow their understanding of what it takes to be a learner for life, through a shared language that enables each of them to understand themselves. We strive to ensure that our students are invested in their learning by having them set goals for themselves and listening to their perspectives on their school experience.
We also understand that each student is a unique individual with their own learning needs. We support students learning growth within an environment of questioning, experimenting and experiencing while ensuring that they have access to a curriculum that is cohesive and sequenced throughout their time at Wooranna Park Primary School.
