Assistant Principals' Report

Pre Foundation Program 

Commencing Monday 1st September, we open our doors for Pre Foundation enrolments. This program is tailored for students enrolling at WPS for Foundation 2026. The children will learn our school expectations and work with our Foundation teachers in the current Foundation classrooms. Students will have one literacy focus each week, followed by an associated craft activity. Sessions will include visits to the specialist areas, including the Gym, Art and Chinese, Sensory Space, Libraries and First Aid.

Whole School Athletics - Meadowglen, Epping 

Next Tuesday, the 27th May, we will host our whole school athletics carnival at Meadowglen International Athletics Stadium in Epping. Our Year 3-6 students will travel by bus, leaving at 9:00 am, followed by our F-2 students at 10:45 am. The Year 3-6 students will compete in rotations, including Long Jump, High Jump, Triple Jump, Shot Put, Discus and 100M/200M sprints. Our F-2 students will participate in a tabloid sports carnival program, facilitated by an external provider and supervised by our staff. It will move them through a series of novel activity stations. They will rotate in class groups, with an emphasis placed on everyone being actively involved.
