Mount Warrigal Public School
Mount Warrigal Public School has been established since 1967 and caters for students from preschool to Year 6. Along with our mainstream classes, we have a 2 unit preschool, and 4 support unit classes, comprising of Early Intervention Unit, two multi-categorical classes and a class for students with a moderate intellectual disability. Our school is proud of its diversity and prides itself on catering for each individual. Mount Warrigal Public School works in collaboration with the school community and a dedicated P&C who are committed to working with the school in a variety of ways. A Community Liaison Officer supports the wellbeing and engagement of our community as well as a number of external agencies and organisation supporting a range of programs including playgroup, breakfast club and after-school learning club. All students are encouraged to "Aim Higher". Individualised quality teaching is a critical school focus with strong current pedagogical basis for literacy and numeracy programs, equipping students with the skills to be lifelong learners. We are currently part of the K-2 Early Action for Success initiative, focussing on coaching and mentoring to support teacher professional learning and growth. This focus is emulated across the school with an instructional leader employed to support this. Our school strives to empower assessment capable learners and continue to grow inspired passionate teachers. At Mount Warrigal Public School we believe in supporting the whole child, catering for the social, emotional and academic needs of all. Our school has a core focus on student wellbeing and integrating Positive Behaviour for Learning and our school expectation of being a safe, respectful learner. Other key initiatives include Kindness on Purpose and building empathy, protective behaviours and putting student safety as our priority. In addition, students are provided with a range of extra curricular experiences, such as creative and performance arts, sport and student leadership. We aim to empower every student to be successful, reflective, future focussed learners through individualised quality teaching and to work collaboratively as a progressive community to develop inclusive and meaningful partnerships where all members feel safe, respected and connected.
