Dear Families

Welcome to Woodroffe Primary School where we provide education for students from Preschool through to Year 6 and cater for students of all abilities and backgrounds.

In addition to our preschool and primary programs we also offer a Special Education Program in our Pandanus Unit which provides a supportive educational program for students who meet an identified need through the Department of Education.

Our motto is "Together we Learn" promoting a strong sense of inclusion that is valued by our students, families and staff. Our school values are: We are kind, safe and respectful to help build a strong community of learners and build on the school expectations. Together with these values, we provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment that fosters high expectations and invests in strong community partnerships. We are committed to inspiring, challenging and nurturing the capabilities of all students through the values of Kindness, Respect and Safety. We adapt teaching and learning experiences and approaches to ensure all children are appropriately challenged and supported to achieve success in their learning.

We have clear expectations around learning and learning behaviours. These are underpinned by our School Wide Positive Behaviour Framework that students are explicitly taught at the beginning of the year and then in an ongoing manner throughout the year.

We believe in strong family school relationships and that communication between home and school is very important. We encourage family input into decisions and school life, through our School Council, Family Conversations and regular contact. We love seeing our families at school each morning and afternoon and do our very best to ensure we are available at these times as well as on the phone or email.

We look forward to sharing our school with our families.

Kind Regards,
Kristy West
