From the Principal
Embedding high expectations in our community of learners, I encourage our students to be ‘ACE Learners’ who Attend, are Confident and are Engaged.
Supported by my leadership team, we are passionate about learning and empowering each child with the skills they need now and into the future. Recognising that every child is unique, it is our role as educators to meet your child’s needs. We know that with the right supports, every child can and will achieve!
As a team, we have a strong visual presence within the school, whether that is learning with our students and staff in classrooms, during lunch breaks or at the school gates. We look forward to welcoming you to the Wondall Heights State School community.
