Welcome to Warragul North Primary School.
Hello friends!
Warragul North Primary School is located on beautiful Gunaikurnai country in West Gippsland.
We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of this country. Through our ongoing learning, we aim to better care for country and appreciate the knowledge, skills, and cultural identities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our motto, ‘Together we Learn’ is supported by our school’s purpose – to provide a happy, caring, learning environment where children can achieve their potential.
Like many other schools we are still feeling our way through the impacts of COVID-19. We are working hard with our students, families and staff to reconnect to the wonder of learning as we strengthen a culture of pride, respect and equality across our school community.
Whether you are a preppie dipping your toe into school for the first time, a new student arriving from somewhere else in the world or a returning student continuing your adventure with us, we know that your experience can be a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
Our amazing staff show a genuine interest in each student, and we seek to create caring and emotionally supportive classrooms.
Literacy and numeracy are at the core of the curriculum, with learning nurtured through curiosity and creativity.
What matters to our students and families matters to us. We have awesome initiatives for our community to communicate ideas and opinions, influence change, collaborate and make decisions.
So come and say hello and explore a little more.
At Warragul North Primary School, you’re always welcome!
