West Wyalong Public School
West Wyalong Public School is a small primary school in south-west New South Wales. The school fosters respect, responsibility and tolerance through its student welfare programs. It seeks to prepare students to be competent and confident in literacy, numeracy and encourages all students to participate effectively in their community. It has highly successful programs in music, technology and sport. The school shares a site with West Wyalong High School, with a middle school program for Year 5-6 students which provides the focus for much co-operation between West Wyalong High School and West Wyalong Public School. The school culture has changed since the construction of the Barrick gold mine,providing the school with many students coming from overseas. This has given the school not only an increase in enrolment but an injection of a muticultural influence, enhancing our already positive learning environment.
