Principal's Message

Dear Families,

This term continues to zoom by, and it is hard to believe we are about to hit the halfway mark of the term already. 

The recent art show was a massive success. It was fantastic to see the great turn out of so many of our families taking in the wonderful art on display.  A huge shout out goes to our wonderful art team for all their hard work in supporting our very talented students to develop the creative art pieces along with the engaging way it was displayed. Well done to all.

Enrolment 2025

School transition visits for our 2025 Foundation students will be commencing on Thursday 21st of November. If your child is attending Foundation at WVPS in 2025 they need to be enrolled to participate in these sessions.  If we have yet to receive an enrolment application from you, unfortunately your child will not be able to participate in these sessions. However, there is still time to get the necessary forms completed to have them involved in these very important sessions.  Collect an enrolment pack from the front office TODAY – or enrol via the link on our website.  

2025 School Planning:

As we move closer towards the end of the year, we are beginning to commence planning around the 2025 school year. To support us with these plans, we kindly are asking that if your child will not be returning to Wyndham Vale Primary School in 2025 to please contact the school informing us of this information. We thank you for your assistance with this matter. 

2025 Class Development- 

As a school we will soon begin developing our 2025 classes across the school. This huge process involves valuable input from teachers and the students themselves, however should parents/carers wish to put forth a request regarding their child’s placement, it must be placed in writing and emailed to the school with the subject line-2025 Classroom Request- Confidential. While we strive to accommodate your preferences, please note we will not consider requests for specific teachers.

All requests for consideration must be received by no later than Friday 1st November. Please note due to the complexity of scheduling, late requests will not be possible to accommodate. 

Please be aware that requests are valid only for the following academic year and do not carry over from previous years.

Acting Principal
