Wallington Primary has strong tradition

Wallington is a small school situated in a rural setting. The school provides a focal point for the local community and we enjoy a wide range of community participation at the school.

There has been a school on the site since 1868 so we have a long tradition of community involvement. The school comprises of a modern main administration area and classrooms.

The addition of a new multi-purpose room, arts centre and kitchen facility has provided the school with a space that is open and flexible and can be used by classes for a wide range of learning activities.

The playground is spacious and provides our students with various areas to stimulate their imaginations in a safe environment. Incorporated in the playground is a passive area where children who want a quiet area to play can go.

The school also has a large oval that is used for sporting events such as cross country, Friday sport, and a range of other activities.

Priorities of the school are:

• High expectations of all students

• Healthy eating habits
• Focus on the environment
• Leadership development
• Incorporation of information and communication technology in the everyday program
