Department of Education - Victoria

Wonga Park Primary School is set in a semi-rural environment and values its strong sense of community and history. The school is an integral part of the Wonga Park community and enrolments have steadily grown. This year our enrolments are at 412.

We provide a nurturing, engaging and innovative learning environment that develops students who are healthy, caring and connected community members, who have a love of learning and strive for excellence.  Our purpose is to support all members of our learning community to develop the values, knowledge and skills that will enable them to become self-reliant, resilient and effective members of an ever changing global community. Wonga Park Primary School values integrity, commitment, respect, courage and confidence, self-responsibility, persistence, creativity, critical thinking, individuality, fun and celebrating success. 

Our dedicated staff demonstrate a strong commitment to continuous improvement, achieving excellence in teaching and learning using technology to maximise student learning. Programs are designed to be engaging, flexible and authentic and through challenged based learning, we explicitly teach the language, tools and strategies to engage in analytical, critical and creative thinking tasks. Our learning community is committed to building positive relationships and this has contributed to strong student connectedness, improved student attendance, high parent satisfaction and strong partnerships between home and school.
