Warrnambool Primary School students require permission to attend, via Compass. Students will need to bring water and food for the day and will need to be at Flagstaff Hill, Warrnambool at 7.15am to depart using Coles Coaches.

National Sorry Day Community Display

Our school is asked to contribute to a commemorative display for National Sorry Day, 26th May.

National Sorry Day is a day to remember and acknowledge the Stolen Generations and to reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our people and our nation.

 Wata Waetnanda are asking the Warrnambool and district communities to help create a commemorative display of hand-crafted purple flowers, to acknowledge and show our solidarity to the Stolen Generations on National Sorry Day.

 The ‘Sea of Purple Flowers’ this year will be installed at the Warrnambool Library and will be on display from 26th May and right throughout Reconciliation Week, 27th May – 3rd June.

Below you will find further information and a sample flower template - We encourage the students to be creative and make their own purple flower designs using recycled materials.

Please deliver your hand-crafted flowers to the Warrnambool Library by Monday 22nd May. For further information please feel free to contact the Wata Waetnanda Facebook Page.

Wonder White Bread Bags and Bread Tags for Wheelchairs recycling initiatives

This year our school is once again participating in the Wonder White Recycle, Earn and Play campaign. We're asking families to please donate their bread bags to the school so we can earn points to redeem them for sports equipment.

We're also taking donations of the plastic bread tags so they can go towards funding wheelchairs, mainly in South Africa.

The collection boxes are located in the School Office.

So everyone please get collecting!

Curriculum Contributions 2023

Thank you to all the families who have paid curriculum contributions so far this year. All money paid goes towards supplying your children with the items needed for their classrooms and specialist classes. Without families paying, we would not be able to offer the great programs that we currently run. If you are yet to make payment towards the curriculum contributions, it’s not too late. Payment can be made via Compass (it will show as Course Confirmation / School Payments) or at the school office.  

If you are yet to order a Jamo Journal, this can be done using the same link.
