Principal's Report

Updated Website 

A few weeks ago, one of our very supportive parents, Sarah Farlane, generously took a number of photos around our school to help refresh our website and newsletter. A big thank you to Sarah for giving up her time and using her skills to help us showcase our school at its best.

We’ve now updated both platforms with the new photos and they look absolutely terrific. It’s wonderful to have such high-quality images that really capture the energy and spirit of our school community. We’re very grateful for Sarah’s help.

Early Leaving 2025 / Late Starting 2026

We are aware many students may finish the school year early, or will start later in 2026. If this is the situation with your family, please enter these absence into compass. If you are starting later in 2026, please email the office as well, so we have a record of when your child will returning to school.  wheelers.hill.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Parents' Association Disco

A big thank you our golden Parents' Association for organising and running the very popular K-Pop Demon Hunters Disco party on Friday after school. The students had an amazing time, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your effort behind the scenes. Thanks to Cheryl in the office for her assistance as well. Thanks for making it such a fun, memorable event for everyone!

Parent Contributions for 2026

As we prepare for the 2026 school year, we’re reaching out to seek your continued support through our Parent Contributions, which are now available on Compass.

While the Department of Education funds the staple requirements for teaching and learning, it’s the additional support from families that enables us to deliver the high-quality programs, facilities, and learning experiences our students enjoy. These contributions allow us to enrich the curriculum, enhance resources, and maintain the welcoming school environment that defines Wheelers Hill Primary School.

We are deeply appreciative of the generosity our community has shown in the past and hope this support will continue into 2026. Your contributions directly fund classroom programs, digital and learning materials, and the care of our school grounds, all of which help create a safe, engaging, and inspiring place for every child. Without this ongoing assistance, we may be required to scale back some of the programs and improvements that make our school such a special place.

We’ve worked to keep contribution amounts for 2026 closely aligned with those of 2025, making it as manageable as possible for families to continue their support. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us provide meaningful opportunities for our students to learn and grow.

Thank you once again for your generosity, involvement, and commitment to our school community. Together, we can ensure that 2026 is another year of success, growth, and opportunity for all students.
