Wattle Glen Primary School is a delightful educational setting,
which sets high
standards for all children, academically and socially.
We are situated in a little nook of Wattle Glen, which offers our
students both a safe
and exciting environment in which to study, to grow and to learn to lead.
Our school
is smaller compared to some others, and we think this gives us a
great advantage
over the larger institutions. We offer our students and their
families a caring and community-based
environment within which to excel and develop.
Being small does not mean missing out! Listed are just some
of the things that our
small school can offer!

A
positive approach to everything, from our School Policy to our
classroom activities,
is always in the fore. Reward systems are in place to encourage our

opportunity to shine in their own special ways.

Strategic Plan
The School Strategic Plan provides the basis for our overall
school program and organisation.
Individual teachers’ approaches are based on this policy
guideline, and yet allow the teacher flexibility
of
approach in subject treatment to function as a professional
individual and to plan according to the
needs of the children in their charge. The evaluation of the
Strategic Plan is necessarily an
on-going
process.
Our
Code of Conduct sets out the rights and responsibilities for
pupils, teachers
and parents to achieve
the
most supportive atmosphere in which to develop
each child’s learning.
